The Director, Defence Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba, who confirmed this in a statement, said the identities of the soldiers killed in action were withheld to allow administrative procedures to inform their families.

According to Major General Buba, the terrorists had attempted to surprise troops and retaliate the recent killing of their commander and combatants by the troops.

However, the terrorists were taken unaware when the troops on fighting patrol returning to base foiled their planned attack as soon as the attack commenced.

He said the timely arrival of the troops’ reinforcement team, which comprised of elements of Civilian Joint Taskforce, vigilantes, as well as hybrid forces, at the scene overpowered the terrorists.

The Director said that though troops’ reinforcement team encountered an Improvise Explosive Device (IED) injuring the Vigilante Commander, they arrived timely to decimate the fleeing terrorists.
