The #Russian African Corps has retaken the city of Kidal in Mali, which was lost in April after an offensive by Azawad forces. It is now reported that the Tuareg forces withdrew after sustained air strikes, and Kidal itself was captured with minimal fighting. Currently, the city is being cleared of mines and humanitarian aid is being provided to the population. The operation to retake Kidal, conducted from October 1st to 7th, was a key episode in the campaign in northern Mali.
