Russia's defence ministry said on Tuesday its forces had prevented militants from carrying out a coup attempt in Mali, state news agencies reported.
The ministry added Russia's Africa Corps, which succeeded the former Wagner mercenary group, is continuing to carry out its tasks in Mali and is ready to repel further attacks.
Russian state media reported earlier on Tuesday that the Africa Corps had suffered unspecified casualties after it withdrew its forces from the town of Kidal following fierce fighting there at the weekend.
