Nine civilians died in a vehicle attack in Mali, accused to be by Malian army and Wagner Group mercenaries.

Nine civilians, including women and children, were killed in an attack on a vehicle in Mali's Segou region last week. The vehicle was en route to a refugee camp in Mauritania when it came under fire. A civil society group and a Tuareg rebel coalition accused the Malian army and Russian mercenaries from the Wagner Group of the attack. The Malian army and Wagner have not commented. The incident follows reports of abuses against civilians by Mali's forces and Wagner, as documented by Human Rights Watch.
