“There was a fierce exchange of gunfire between the terrorists and a combined team of troops who responded promptly to reinforce the town’s defence,” one military source confirmed.
The attack was repelled, and the terrorists reportedly suffered unspecified casualties, as traces of blood were seen along their withdrawal routes. Normalcy has since been restored in the area.
However, a CJTF operative, Mr. Bulama Ngala (45), sustained gunshot injuries from stray bullets during the clash. He was evacuated to the General Hospital, Gajigana, where he is said to be responding well to treatment.
