We located the first strike to the town of Inafarak on July 12. The strike appears to have hit a commercial facility, with a damaged truck and damaged fuel drums visible. Within footage taken of the aftermath, an MD-550 engine component is visible, a remnant used in the Shahed-136 drone family.

The second strike in Talahandak on July 17 appears to have struck a truck carrying oil. We geolocated three separate videos of the strike to the same area, including one video posted by a Wagner-affiliated account that shows the drone descending towards the target.

Defence Blog and France 24 previously reported that these drones were being deployed on the battlefield in northern Mali. Leo Jarry, a drone expert with Tungsten strategies, told Bellingcat: "If the drones are Russian manufactured, they represent a visible demonstration of Russian support for Mali.”

Originally developed by Iran but now also manufactured in Russia, the Shahed-136 family is a series of long-range one-way attack drones.

Unlike other drones used by Mali's Armed Forces that are built to carry small precision-guided munitions before returning to base, the Shahed-136 series is designed to be destroyed on impact, delivering an explosive payload over longer distances.

Weapons expert, Leo Jarry, told Bellingcat that the drone provides Africa Corps and FAMa with an "expendable, cost-effective" long-range strike capability.

We recently documented the use of banned Russian cluster munitions in Mali, providing further evidence that increasingly destructive weapons associated with Russia's war in Ukraine are now being deployed by Africa Corps in the Sahel. www.bellingcat.com/news/africa/...

Russia's leader is a war criminal, just like my leader in the US, and Israel's. We all must stand up & support each other for the way of life we want on this planet.
