Tuaregs Report Death of 84 Wagner PMC Fighters
Fighting in northern Mali has killed 84 fighters from the private military company (PMC) Wagner and 47 government soldiers, according to representatives of the Tuareg rebel group Permanent Strategic Framework for Peace, Security and Development, according to the agency Bloomberg.
“The Strategic Framework for the Defense of the People of Azawad, a coalition of anti-government groups in northern Mali, said 84 mercenaries from the Russian paramilitary group Wagner and 47 Malian soldiers had been killed in three days of fighting,” the agency said in a statement.
The authors of the article also asked the Malian armed forces for comment. They refused to give any comments.
Earlier it became known that the information circulated on the Internet about the ransom of the Wagner PMC fighters captured in Mali from Tuareg militants is not true. In particular, the Telegram channel Mash published a video with the alleged fighters who are still in captivity. It is reported that this could be a stormtrooper and a combat medic.
