Seven Russian mercenaries have been killed by ISIS-linked militants in Mozambique – including four who were shot and then beheaded.
The Russians, fighting for the shadowy state-affiliated Wagner Group, were killed in two separate attacks last month, according to sources in the Mozambique military.
Both attacks were ambushes in Mozambique’s northern Cabo Delgado state, where ISIS first announced its presence in June this year.
The second attack, on October 27, saw Russian fighters attacked alongside troops from the Mozambique Defense Armed Forces (FADM).
A source told the Moscow Times that ISIS militants placed barricades across the road then began firing on the convoy.
Four Russian soldiers were shot dead at the scene and then beheaded, according to the source, while a fifth was shot and wounded and later died in hospital.
Mozambique media reports that 20 FADM troops were also killed in the same attack.
Another, previously unreported, attack happened on October 7 and saw two Russian mercenaries shot dead in the same province.
Again, the attack was the result of an ambush and also involved FADM troops, though it is unclear if any of them were killed or how many were killed.
