Troops recovered 6,009,500 litres of stolen crude oil, 425,715 litres of illegally refined AGO, 38,100 litres of DPK and 4,500 litres of PMS.

He said the military is in a good fight and is winning in the war.

“Our operations have killed or captured several terrorist and insurgent  leaders as well as their facilitators and key associates”.

He said the insurgents are in perpetual mourning as they constantly bury their dead and “would continue to do so”.

“Our communities across the country have risen to the occasion in exposing these elements and it is making a tremendous impact on operations as they no longer have a hiding place,” he added.
