Cameroon has announced the deaths of 16 of its soldiers in Ukraine, following confirmation from Russian authorities. The soldiers were involved in special military operations, and Cameroon's foreign ministry is now contacting their families to provide support.
In a related development, the ministry issued an urgent invitation for families of six other Cameroonian nationals residing in Russia to visit the ministry for unspecified 'urgent matters.'
