[Regnum] The commander of the assault unit of the Wagner group, Mikhail Prikhodko, call sign Michael, died in Mali while carrying out a combat mission. This was reported on the evening of October 14 by the Telegram channel "Razgruzka Wagnera".
According to the channel, Prikhodko, at the head of a rapid response group, moved to help his fellow soldiers who were surrounded by terrorists and died in battle. Thanks in part to his actions, the group managed to break out of the encirclement, disperse and completely eliminate the militants.
"Despite the incessant fire of the enemy, Michael acted calmly and professionally, personally killing eight militants. Unfortunately, the wounds he received during the battle were incompatible with life," the statement said.
The channel's author notes that Prikhodko will be awarded the star of the Hero of the Wagner group.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, from July 22 to 27, Wagner Group fighters and Malian military personnel fought fierce battles with militants in the area of the settlement of Tin-Zoutine in the north of the country. The Russians and their Malian allies suffered losses after falling into an ambush set up by Tuareg separatists from the Coordination Movement of Azawad (CMA) and the jihadist group Al-Qaeda in the Sahel (JNIM, a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation). On October 9, the head of the Commonwealth of Officers for International Security (COIS) Alexander Ivanov reported that the bodies of the fallen fighters had been returned to their homeland.
