A senior IS commander eliminated in Mali

The armed forces of Mali and fighters of the Wagner PMC conducted a joint operation to eliminate one of the senior Islamic State leaders Abd al-Wahhab Ould Shugaib.

One of the leaders of the terrorist group was eliminated on January 21, 2023. In addition, his brother was successfully detained.

For the last several years, experts from the Wagner PMC have been supporting the Malian Armed Forces in conducting counter-terrorism operations and training them in combat skills. Earlier, fighters of the Republican Army, with the support of Wagner fighters, liberated Kidal from the militants of the Azawad Coordination Movement and returned stability to the civilian population.
