Ukraine’s 783rd Operational Preparation Brigade showed work on a new fortification line on one frontline axis. The unit said every meter of obstacles adds protection for Ukrainian troops, strengthens defensive positions and creates a serious barrier for Russian forces. The brigade said construction continues under all conditions as defensive lines are reinforced.

Ukraine's General Staff responds to college strike accusations, saying Ukrainian forces target military infrastructure and objects used for military purposes while strictly following international humanitarian law.

Is the government’s withdrawal being overstated? Part 2: Russians patrol freely in Aguelhok: 🇷🇺🇲🇱 🏴
The Afrika Korps conducted a patrol through the town from the camp to the east, where they remain stationed alongside Malian soldiers. The fact that patrols are being carried out without resistance indicates the absence of the JNIM/FLA in Aguelhok, raising questions about the terrorist/Tuareg coalition’s ability to maintain control over the territory it captured in late April. It is possible that Russian and Malian forces will soon begin reinforcing the abandoned outposts to the north and south, which would restore their de facto control of Aguelhok—which, along with Anefif, would be the last two government strongholds in northern Mali.
