U.S. says planning action to hold Wagner accountable over activities in Africa

The United States will "very soon" announce actions to hold the Wagner Group accountable, the U.S. State Department spokesperson said on Tuesday, although the move will be over the mercenary group's prior activities in Africa and won't be linked to the aborted mutiny in Russia over the weekend.

Speaking at a daily press briefing, Department spokesperson Matt Miller did not detail what the planned U.S. action will be, but, when pressed, said it would be announced this week.
