🇲🇱 KIDAL UPDATE — AFRICAN CORPS SITUATION REPORT FROM YESTERDAY'S FIGHTING African Corps forces at Kidal repelled four massed assaults by a force of up to 1,000 militants backed by Ukrainian instructors, operating with 20+ armored vehicles, 80+ pickups, FPV drones, and mortars. Results in 24 hours: 12 pickups destroyed by artillery and mortar fire, around 50 militants killed. 32 militants killed in direct combat. An isolated outpost held its position for the entire day in full encirclement, 6km from main forces, destroying 6 armed pickups and capturing one with weapons and ammunition intact. The armored group spent much of the day partially surrounded, breaking out alongside Malian army units and destroying 4 more pickups. Some forward posts were evacuated under heavy mortar fire, with units regrouping to better positions inside the town. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics
