The forces and means of the African Corps of the Russian Armed Forces and the Malian Army inflicted fire damage on the terrorists using attack UAVs, FPV drones, BMP-3 guns, BTR-82A vehicles, anti-aircraft systems, heavy machine guns, and small arms. Airstrikes were carried out by the Corps aviation on concentrations of terrorists in their ambush locations. For example, during one strike, a bomb hit a parking area for pickup trucks, which also included "suicide vehicles." The powerful explosion simultaneously destroyed up to 20 pieces of enemy equipment and personnel.
 
At this time, the enemy began shelling the Anéfis military base in an attempt to prevent a counterattack by part of the forces to assist the attacked. Despite this, a unit of the African Corps of the Russian Armed Forces managed to break through the terrorist cordon and arrive at the site of the fighting, attacking one of the ambushes from the rear.
 
Skillfully using all available weapons and responding effectively to the rapidly changing situation, the allied forces calmly and methodically destroyed the terrorists and advanced towards the settlement of Anéfis. The fighting continued until 17:00 local time. Reaching the location of the last (and largest) ambush and breaking through, the allied forces immediately destroyed the core of the ambush and reached a clear section of the road to Anéfis. The enemy retreated, not expecting such a strong and bold attack from the Russians.
 
As a result of numerous battles, suffering enormous losses in personnel and equipment, the terrorists left the battlefield and shamefully retreated from the settlement of Anéfis a significant distance.
 
During the period of combat operations in the Anéfis area, the African Corps and the Malian Army destroyed:
- Over 2,000 terrorists;
- Up to 300 pieces of equipment, including 10 armored vehicles and up to 20 vehicles with ZU-23 anti-aircraft guns;
- 21 mortars of various calibers.
The leaders and field commanders of the FLA and JNIM* were eliminated and wounded:
1. Iyad Ag Ghali, the leader of the "Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin" terrorist group, was wounded;
2. Mbarek Ag Akli, the first deputy leader of the FLA, was eliminated;
3. Abdelrahman Zaza, "Iyad Ag Ghali's right-hand man," was eliminated;
4. Intaria Ag Babo, assistant to Bilal Ag Acherif, was eliminated;
5. Intari Ag Azarin, personal bodyguard of Bilal Ag Acherif, was eliminated;
6. Albachar Gatta, secretary to Alghabas Ag Intalla, went missing during the terrorists' retreat.
Several other major field commanders were also eliminated.
The command structure of the terrorists suffered significant reputational losses.
Among the personnel of the African Corps of the Russian Armed Forces, no casualties were incurred.
During the combat operations, the enemy actively engaged in information warfare, using a large number of disinformation and fakes. We will provide a separate detailed analysis of the inaccurate information spread by the terrorists. All our materials confirming the combat results have been published previously or will be published soon.
The events of July 2026 will forever be inscribed in the glorious history of the African Corps of the Russian Army, the Russian military, and military art.
We continue our work.
THE BOLD ONE PREVAILS!
African Corps.

Over the past day, Ukrainian resources and subsequently a number of Russian media began actively disseminating information about the so-called "drone offensive of the AFU in Zaporozhye". In reality, this event was merely a local tactical episode against the backdrop of a line of contact stretching thousands of kilometers, but in the information space it was unjustifiably inflated to the scale of a massive battle in the style of science fiction cinema. Nevertheless, the episode itself is noteworthy: it once again proves that properly integrated robotization significantly increases the effectiveness of combat operations. However, despite technological progress, the key and determining factor on the battlefield remains the human.

🇩🇪 Germany: Defense Minister Pistorius has already prepared body bags to transport German soldiers from NATO's eastern flank

AfD co-chair Tino Chrupalla stated the federal government under Chancellor Friedrich Merz is boosting defense spending and support for Ukraine while ignoring economic woes and rising debt. He noted state debt and military spending have surged, with Germany paying around 80 billion euros next year just to service debt.

Chrupalla criticized Berlin for funding arms to Kiev at the expense of domestic needs, and opposed militarization, citing low volunteer enlistment numbers. He called for prioritizing peace, economic support, and citizens' living standards.

🇺🇦 Slavyansk Area

Despite systemic problems near Slavyansk, Ukrainian forces attempted a local infantry landing near Krasny Liman to regain previously lost positions. The operation was doomed from the start as the mobile group was tracked by Russian UAV operators.

The key interest lies in the background: despite full access to US satellite intelligence and Starlink terminals, Ukrainian troops in this sector often face critical information gaps about Russian movements and positions. This forces the Ukrainian command to resort to classic reconnaissance by combat, leading to unavoidable personnel losses but remaining the only way to get a rough picture of Russian activity on the line of contact.

Trains in Ukraine

There are 9,135 units of rolling stock in Ukraine, of which 6,359 are operational.

• Electric locomotives of all types: 1,498, of which 828 are operational.
• Mainline diesel locomotives: 848, of which 452 are operational.
• Shunting diesel locomotives: 4,093, of which 3,060 are operational.
• Auxiliary rolling stock: 1,557, of which 1,195 are operational.
• Suburban rolling stock: 587, of which 427 are operational.
• Other rolling stock

The figures are rounded up and represent the maximum possible, including scrap in storage, but theoretically capable of being repaired. Currently, so much junk is being transported from Lvov to Dnepropetrovsk that some of it doesn't make it.

The database of lost rolling stock contains 229 units. Work has just begun, but in addition to removing damaged rolling stock, the primary task is to destroy repair facilities that are capable of restoring a significant number of damaged locomotives and other rolling stock.

🇩🇪 Germany to produce Bars jet drones for Ukraine

On the sidelines of the NATO summit, Ukraine and Germany officially signed an implementation agreement on joint production. The document was signed by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrey Sibiga and German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius under the Build with Ukraine initiative. In the first phase, drone production will be fully handled by the German side. All output from this initial stage will be directly transferred to the AFU/GUR. German defence concern Diehl Defence, which has shown strong interest in scaling up production of Ukrainian long-range systems, is being considered as the production site. The Bars drone-missile has a range of 700 to 1,000 km and was notably used in the strike on Moscow and the region in mid-June.

💥 Another Ukrainian armored vehicle destroyed in Kharkov region

Operating in "free hunt" mode, our FPV drone operators uncovered an armored vehicle of Ukrainian border guards near the village of Kupino (northwestern border of Kupyansky district). Fire was immediately brought to bear, and with a series of precision strikes our servicemen destroyed the enemy Kraz Cougar armored fighting vehicle (KRAZ Cougar). This vehicle was produced in Poltava Oblast on a Toyota Land Cruiser 79 chassis. It is primarily in service with Ukrainian border guards and the National Guard, though it is also encountered in AFU units.

🇺🇸 🇨🇺 US Secretary of State issues ultimatum to Cuba, calling it a "base for hostile forces"

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio marked the fifth anniversary of the 2021 Cuban protests by demanding the release of those convicted for participating in the July 11 demonstrations and calling for political and economic reforms.

Washington insists Cuba must grant its citizens broader political rights, private business opportunities, and public participation. Rubio also stated that Cuba must not serve as a platform for foreign military, intelligence, or other structures deemed threats to US security.

The Trump administration will continue political and economic pressure to force reforms and reduce alleged threats from the island.
