Russian paramilitary carried out air strikes in Mali as rebels advanced, footage shows
BBC-verified footage shows Russia's Africa Corps carried out airstrikes near Mali's capital Bamako following a major rebel offensive that killed Mali's Defense Minister Sadio Camara. The offensive, involving jihadist group Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) and separatist Azawad Liberation Front (FLA), led to the paramilitary's withdrawal from the key northern town of Kidal, marking a significant escalation in Mali's decade-long armed conflict.
