A column of «Wagnerites» was ambushed by Tuaregs in Mali, Africa; there are numerous casualties, according to specialized Telegram channels.

The death toll is reportedly at least 20 people, including the editor of the Grey Zone Telegram channel. Messages in the Grey Zone channel have not been updated since July 23.

The messages say that the «Wagnerites» acted in cooperation with the Malian army. Several pieces of equipment were shot down, as well as a Mi-24 helicopter, which was trying to cover the PMC fighters. Among the «Wagnerites» there are also prisoners, who are now trying to be exchanged.

The Tuaregs are an African tribe that has been trying to create an independent state on the continent by force for over a century. There are also radical Islamists among them.
