poisoned knife would have yielded better results.

> Johannesburg — In a rare acknowledgment, Russia's private
mercenary army PMC Wagner said Monday that it had suffered heavy
losses in fighting against a Tuareg rebel alliance in the
northern part of the African nation of Mali. The state-funded
"private military company" did not say how many of its fighters
were killed in a days-long battle near Mali's border with
Algeria, but videos circulating on social media showed dozens of
bodies, mostly appearing to be white men.

three of the Russian fighters were believed to have survived the
battle, and their commander Sergey Shevchenko was among those
killed in action.

conducting operations for several months in a bid to gain
control over the country's border with Algeria. The Taureg
militias remain in control of parts of the border region, but
militants affiliated with the JNIM organization, an alliance of
al-Qaeda aligned groups, also operate there.
