The troops responded swiftly and effectively, repelling the attack and preventing the terrorists from achieving their objective. The terrorists subsequently withdrew from the area, abandoning weapons, equipment and other logistics in their haste to escape.


Following the engagement, troops conducted exploitation and pursuit operations in the surrounding area, leading to the recovery of 17 motorcycles, a PKT machine gun, an AK-47 rifle, assorted ammunition and a communication device believed to have been used by the terrorists during the attack.


The recovery of the weapons, ammunition, communication equipment and motorcycles represents a significant setback to the terrorists’ operational capability in the area.


The general area remains firmly under troops control, while aggressive patrols, clearance and dominance operations continue to track and neutralize fleeing members of the terrorist group.


The Theatre Command, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, remains committed to maintaining the security of communities and denying terrorists the freedom to operate within the Joint Operations Area.
