The Wagner Group's bloody confrontation with the Russian state reaffirms the risks posed by the mercenaries to African states that partner with them, the United States said Monday.

The United States reiterates "the message that we have given to these countries publicly and privately in the past, which is that any time Wagner enters the country, death and destruction follow," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters.
