A mercenary from the Murmansk region died in Libya

In Libya, a resident of the Murmansk region died. About this writes "Medusa" with reference to its own sources. The man participated in the civil war as a mercenary in the "PMC of Wagner". In total, according to the interlocutor of the publication, from 10 to 35 Russian mercenaries died in the war in Libya.

The body of the deceased has already been brought to Murmansk. The mercenary name is not called. "Medusa" gives only his call sign - "academician".

The rest of the dead will be delivered to Russia only in late October due to public unrest after the elections to the Moscow City Duma, says Medusa interlocutor close to the leadership of the Wagner PMC. "People are worried, so the bodies there are still in Libya in the refrigerators," he said. According to him, the bodies "approximately 30".

Fighting in Libya has been going on for several years, but officially Russia has not been participating in them.

On September 25, Bloomberg reported the transfer of more than a hundred fighters of the Wagner PMC to the country. According to the publication, mercenaries provide military support for the troops of General Caliph Haftar, who besieged the capital of the Republic of Tripoli. The city itself is controlled by the Government of National Consent recognized by international community. He is supported by a Western coalition led by the United States and Türkiye.

In early March, The Telegraph wrote that the number of Wagner mercenaries in Libya is already 300 people.

The fact that Russian mercenaries participate in battles in Libya, where, after the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi, in 2011 the civil war continues in 2011, Reuters wrote back in 2017.

In November last year, entrepreneur Yevgeny Prigozhin, who was associated with PMCs, attended official negotiations in the Kremlin between Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Haftar.
