Two days of national mourning have been declared in Mali after the country's defence minister was killed in an attack by Al-Qaeda linked group JNIM, who have allied with Tuareg rebels. Despite their disagreements, the two sides joined forces to fight against the Malian army, which is supported by Russian mercenaries.

Africa Corps has been supporting the Malian junta since deploying to Mali in 2025. But Russia's presence in the country stretches back to 2021.
