Human Rights Watch reports Russian Africa Corps aircraft killed eight civilians in a central Mali village airstrike.
Human Rights Watch reported that Russian government-controlled Africa Corps aircraft killed eight civilians, including three children, during an airstrike in Kyrnia village, Mali, on June 15. The strikes, conducted by a Sukhoi Su-24 aircraft, hit a village chief's home and a nearby cattle market, resulting in the deaths of four men and the chief's family members. While the Islamic militant group JNIM held the village, no fighters were reported among the casualties, suggesting the strikes did not target a clear military objective. thought<channel|>```json, {
