A lot of controversies, back and forth claims, massive info warfare on socials. In short, it's clear, that the battle is simply unprecedented in scope - as I have repeatedly been saying these days, both sides take it as a major milestone and buildup for the future. Losess on both sides? Should be massive too. It's not feasible to ascertain the exact numbers, but vehicles, weapons and manpower loss is great. Clear picture unfortunately may only be shown after the battle, and the winning side uploads propaganda materials in waiting. Both sides claim to have killed dozens or even hundreds as in this particular case, Malian army's statement says. There also are claims of prisoner taking, executions of deserters, that including one event both sides claim the other surrendered. Chaos. We are waiting for the conclusion, nobody expected an unprecedented prolonged battle of this kind, with major orgs basically smoking their operational capacity for the next few months in order to conquer this patch of land. Tensions are high, Mali's future on the line. Here much better quality pics of the targets FLA aimed for in the camp.
