A helicopter tried to help a Wagner PMC convoy that was ambushed in Mali. It was shot down. Some of the Wagnerites were captured and are currently being ransomed. Among the dead, wounded and captured were admins of other channels (the admin of the Grey Zone channel was killed) associated with the PMC. According to some reports, one of Prigozhin’s former commanders, Elizarov (Lotus), could have been in the convoy. He is known to be alive.

Mali’s northern Tuareg rebels said they had killed and injured dozens of soldiers and Wagner mercenaries in two days of fighting near the Algerian border, after the army said it had lost two soldiers but killed some 20 rebels.
The rebel movement, the Permanent Strategic Framework for Peace, Security and Development (CSP-PSD), said in a statement on Saturday that it had seized armoured vehicles, trucks and tankers in the fighting at the border town of Tinzaouaten on Thursday and Friday.

Al-Qaeda in Sahel (JNIM) claims responsibility for the attack on Russian Africa Corps convoy, killing 50 Russians and 10 Mali army soldiers. A photoset of a few corpses for evidence is included

If this JNIM claim is true, this ambush is the single largest loss for Russian forces in Mali. Russian propaganda is interesting. If they win a battle, it is credited to the Russian Africa Corps. If the Russians lose, it’s blamed on Wagner (PMC). Either way, the Russians suck.
