Militants killed and wounded dozens of government soldiers, as well as fighters of the Wagner PMC fighting on their side, in northern Mali.
According to the statement released by the Permanent Strategic Framework for the Defense and Protection of Azawad (CSP-PSD), the rebels seized armored vehicles, trucks, and tankers in the clashes that took place in the border town of Tin Zaouatine. They reportedly killed 53 people, including Russian Wagner troops, during clashes that lasted for 2 days on July 25-26 near the Algerian border.
The Malian army announced the deaths of two of its soldiers and the wounding of ten others. The armed forces also reported that the military killed about 20 rebels and destroyed several vehicles.
“Fierce fighting continues against the coalition of terrorists,” the statement said, as cited by AFP. The area remains “under surveillance and the situation is under special control,” the armed forces said.
The Malian armed forces, with the support of the Wagner PMCs, have intensified reconnaissance and search operations on the Algerian border Since July 20 in order to identify the positions of militants from the Azawad Coordination Movement and the Jabhat Nasr al-Islam Wal-Muslimin group affiliated with Al-Qaeda.
The operations were launched from the military base of the armed forces in Tessalit. On July 22, their assault groups raided the settlement of Afarak located to the west, where some fuel storage facilities of the rebels were destroyed; but control of the settlement was not secured.
At the same time, a military column of the Malian armed forces and the Wagner PMC reportedly consisting of about 20 vehicles moved to the east towards the rebels’ stronghold in Tin Zaouatine.
On July 23, after government forces passed the village of Bugessa, the convoy was also reportedly blown up on a mined road in the desert.
In two days, clashes began on the outskirts of Tin Zaouatine. On July 25, the armed forces reportedly managed to approach the settlement as a result of the heavy battles. The rebels suffered losses in some military positions and field commanders.
Soon, the fighting was interrupted by a sandstorm. The warring sides pulled troops away from the line of contact.
On July 26, the militants resumed the battles with attacks on government forces. The rebels transferred large reserves to the area. As a result, they concentrated a group of up to 900 militants, while the army group included less than 100 servicemen and Wagner PMCs.
The army aviation entered the battle but the aircraft were ineffective due to weather conditions. One of the Mi-24 helicopters was shot down with anti-aircraft weapons and reportedly made a hard landing in Kidal.
Government forces began to retreat from the outskirts of the city on July 27. The Jamaat Nasr al-Islam Wal-Muslimin group (part of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb), entered the battle apparently acting in coordination with the Azawad Movement. They mined the area where the fighters of the PMCs and the Armed Forces of Mali were blown up. The Tuareg rebels later approached the defeated government and Russian forces and captured prisoners.
PMC Wagner, together with the African Corps of the Russian Ministry of Defence, promptly negotiated and concluded two deals for the ransom of POWs.
maybe the hide biden administration left 85 billion dollars worth of military hardware in afghanistan on purpose just for this reason???

hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha
ha,ha,ha when they come to your house and execute you on the double,assflogged!
your grasp on the reality is seriously off kilter, pls see a shrink and stop polluting this commentary.
after electroshock turdy only 999 brain cells
teresa999 is clearly still amongst the minority of thick people who still believe in the bs that the mainstream media is generating!
amerikunt teresa saxon as dumb as a donkey…900 vs 100 and only a few casualties…how is your anuz after taliban sodomy?
jens, i disagree with you. a donkey is much smarter then tereza and by a big margin. please don’t cruelly attack poor donkeys.
russia is a joke as country and military.
that comment only a low iq puf can type,chances are gutless troll faking to be another,pfft! uraine winning yet,thought not =z=
amerikunts live in a bankrupt, dysfunctional shithole of a failed state.
drugs have taken their toll on another bot
begone ye good for nothing tranny,impressive is your level of stupidity you are the losers,cia gimps!
russia is winning in ukraine. in mali, wagner is just a mercenary group.
shouldn’t you be more worried about all the islamists in your country instead of looking for russians under your bed tranny?
teresa is a transsexual who wants to join the 500k dead neo nazi ukrops at the cemetery
these are real men, not joo kiddie killers.
so defeated that the ukraine gene pool has been deleted and over 20% of soviet ukrainian territory has returned home to russia.
russia strikes big in ukraine, and now even in mali! absolutely excellent!
trump signed the departure from afghanistan with the talibans, you ignorant idiot
nah…. they high tailed it out of graveyard of empires as they always do when they are bleeding from all orifices. never forget the choppers being dumped as vietnam was liberated from the bea$t.
like in somalia, where they left hundreds of pieces of equipment and suddenly a few months later the glorious state of eritrea emerged from the ashes, making ethiopia (times bigger in population and territory) a land locked state.
with the first countries to recognize it…. usa and the state of israel 😂😂😂
eritrea’s president was in russia (just a few months ago) he was a special guest in russia and even had a interview with rt, you probably know that israel has rented an eritrean island and made it military base!

i see an autographed picture of “yevgeny viktorovich prigozhin”$ investment in the bathroom(s) of bini netanya$crewy and vladimir “pootie poot”!… wagner is just another version of blackwater and the globalists they both serve with no loyalty to anyone but the highest payer!… toilet paper not included!
i see something different. vladimir the best id developing his empire of lies based on his personality cult and people around him are starting to die the same way as people died during stalin’s terror. it is not just prygozhin, but all these generals a in the russian army, how many of them were arrested on alleged “corupton” just this year ? 20 ? and killing entire wagner group somewhere in the middle of nowhere in africa has clearly political motifs.
perhaps they were arrested owing to the facts proving their guilt? what is ukraine’s excuse? how do they handle corruption? promotion of a mansion in a western nation, with bugatti for the wife? remember, stalin was a georgian bolshevik, who led the soviet union, which ukraine was part of and benefitted from.
2) now why did zelinsky refuse to step down, when his term ran out? why does he take out any opposition, including us journalists? why does he imprison political opponents? why does he deny elections in ukraine?
“rather than found an intellectual elite amerika created a mulatto stud farm”. rute hamsun
you’re daughter gives birth to mulatos. you must be so proud.
i only see 4 white fighters killed and few vehicles
wow are you some sort of retarded? there are videos with dozens of russians piled
lol, the joo/arab fag production of fake kills. mercs dont run in one direction and group up for easy hits. the ridiculous blue outfits is the very first thing to give it away as a joofag/arabfag production. they have sex with men, but that isn’t gay, like roger stone says about roy cohn (and himself?).
these cia sponsored terrorists, monsters of the worst kind.
smells like delta force or sas
no, tuaregs on sandals 🥲
china is useless. get your forces into africa and help defend your trade routes/partners!
they wont just like the did not defend their investments in lybia or iraq when the same islamists were send to capture them bei the cia through their gulf arab handlers.
total truth
inflate propaganda! only 4 wagner corpses and 14 mali soldiers while wagner has taken under control afarak and tinzaouaten
wow are you some sort of retarded? there are videos with dozens of russians stacked like meat
did you see their passports,fk no! get your hand off it fakestar!
way past the time for mother russia to supply the fun loving houthi brothers and all other resistance fighters against the natostan mobsters with all the tools required to whack the not so great $atan. obviously al ciaduh has been very busy in the algerian mali desert as it licks its gangrenous wounds in the rest of the collapsing anglozionazi empire of $hit. more z pleez!
looks like ukrainian nazis trained by nato joined forces with islamist alquaida to do genocidal stuff, on behest of eu money as usual.
gonna give those nazis credit, they are persistant in joining with the scum of the earth.
just for your information, there are no ukrainians in africa. ps, i am not pro ukraine government.
really? you saying that azov are incapable of travelling? how many ended up in the us, when obama gave those 3,500 visas to the nazis of ukraine? how many al quaida goons arrived in ukraine, to get ready for kick off?
didn’t they send the al quaida branch to ukraine, to work with them? ever wondered why al quaida/isis/ or whatever they are called today, ukraine nazis, blm/anti-fa, hong kong protesters, etc, etc, etc all wear the same uniforms, different colours, follow the same script, use the same banner and you cannot tell any of them apart? all sponsored by blackrock investors aka usaid/ned.
they did. us shipped some over the past 2 years or so from occupied al-tanf in syria to the ukraine. there are also current reports that this branch in mali has got the okay from the pentagon or affiliated three letter agencies to start training on uav’s in the ukraine.
so in other words, nazis and islamists working together. havent had that in a while.
i remember, i think it was between 2014 and 2016, obama admitting to creating i s i s. the same obama that went to ukraine as a senator, back in 2006, with a suitcase full of money, to get them to get rid of their domestic arsenal. the same obama, back in 2014, with biden as his vice president, who created the ‘coup d’etat’ in kiev.
2) remember nuland ‘f u e u’, one of the cookie monsters, along with mccain, handing out the cookies, at the maidan. fast forward, when they were setting up jade holm, he took 3,500 nazis from ukraine, and gave them us visas. haven’t they come in handy since those days. nazis, islamists and the fakes of a certain faith. ironically, if not for adolf, their would be no nation in the middle east, that was imported by the city of london, vatican and washington dc, back in 1947.
i hope the wagner dead are repatriated so their families can bring closure. as for the other side militaries usually go after them in revenge, so next mass of dead soldiers will be these islamists.
usaid using usual suspects to cause a bit of trouble. don’t they get bored of using the same script?
likely ukranian supplied weaponry,still though just like in ukraine it will not change anything later on too!
tried answering, but, awaiting approval, never to be shown. it is being reported on. they were wearing the ukie tri dent chevron on their uniforms and trained in ukie land, with regards how to use drones. no doubt, a lot of western tax payer funded goodies went back with them.
that’s why they have to run around finding new fags for their parties.
sometimes the bear eats you. sometimes you eat the bear.
then the relatives of the bear strike back, with good effect.
the yankees took it personally. lotus defeated their trannie army in bakhmut. rest in peace soldier
the amerikunts french whores have had their arses kicked out of niger, senegal, car, mali and the rest of africa, taking their baguettes and garlic and smelly cheese with them.
