Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have successfully repelled a coordinated attack by terrorist elements on a Forward Operating Base in Mandaragirau, , in the early hours of Saturday.
According to reports, the insurgents launched the assault under the cover of darkness, but were met with superior firepower from the troops, who engaged them in a fierce gun battle.
During the encounter, at least eight terrorists were neutralised, while several others were believed to have escaped with gunshot wounds, as indicated by visible blood trails along their retreat routes.
Security forces also recovered a cache of weapons and ammunition from the scene, including seven AK-47 rifles and rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) bombs.
Notably, no Nigerian military personnel lost their lives during the confrontation, although one Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle was hit in the exchange of fire.
The successful defence marks another significant operational gain for troops as they sustain ongoing offensives against террорист groups in the North-East region.
