'a Disaster': Russias Africa Corps Suffers Its First Defeat In Mali

At least three Russian fighters died when a convoy of the Russian paramilitary group Africa Corps was caught in a jihadist ambush on August 1 near Tnenkou in the Mopti region of Mali. Members of the jihadist group JNIM filmed grisly footage of the dead Africa Corps combatants. They are the first images of deceased Russian soldiers to have emerged from the region since Africa Corps took over from the private Russian group Wagner in Mali in June.
