Earlier today, a #FLA team observed the passing convoy. This video shows a lot of armoured vehicles, both MRAPs and APCs, carried on heavy trailers. While the specific kind is hard to determine, all appear to have a mounted HMG.

A bridge near #Dabi, #Mali (15°54'19.1"N 4°08'21.1"W), has been attacked with explosives. It's on a large route leading to Niafunke, and with the rain season ongoing, the damage is enough to stop heavy vehicles from progressing further until it's consolidated. AK soldiers are seen inspecting damage.

#AfricaCorps seemingly employed a BMP-3 yesterday to fight JNIM back in northwestern #Mali. Proximity to #Bamako and major roads/infrastructures means heavier vehicles can be deployed.

Wagner is officially announcing their withdrawal from #Mali. Although that may sound like good news, it only means the transfer of Wagner duties to russian MoD-controlled groups (Rusich, Afrika Korps...) is complete. No change is to be expected to the situation on the ground.

#JNIM ambushed a malian Norinco VP11 (China) with a roadside IED in Timbuktu region on the 11th of march. It looks like the hull effectively protected the crew, althought the rollover indicates a powerful charge.

Interesting to see the helicopter crash while still flaring, and whole as far as I can tell. I wonder if this could be a manoeuver kill instead of a missile impact. Mi-8s and variants have quite finicky controls, especially regarding descent rate.

Communique by ADMSP on Twitter. That's it, all prisonners from Sednaya have been freed. That means all the people that were supposedly still held in the prison, about 80k by conservative estimates, have been murdered by the regime. This is not a surprise, but still a shock.
