Afrika Corps, FAMa re-enter N'Tillit area

Russian Afrika Corps and Malian FAMa forces are re-entering areas abandoned in early May following the joint JNIM-FLA offensive in late April. The town of N'Tillit, nominally under JNIM control but disputed with ISSP, was re-entered without resistance, indicating a weakening of jihadist strength after Russian and government attacks on their camps and militants. This demonstrates a return to 'normality' in Gao province as Malian-Russian military operations expand.
