Troops of Operation Hadin Kai Repel Multiple ISWAP Attacks, Recover Heavy Arms

According to the military, the attacks signal increasing desperation among terrorist groups under sustained pressure on their hideouts and supply routes.

Despite intense gunfire, the troops stood their ground, while reinforcements maneuvered through ambushes and improvised explosive device (IED) threats to push back the attackers.

After the confrontation, troops recovered the bodies of five insurgents and confiscated three PKT automatic anti-aircraft guns, two RPG-7 launchers, four AK-47 rifles, two FN rifles, three RPG bombs, and substantial quantities of 7.62mm ammunition. Bloodstains at the scene indicated that more of the fleeing attackers may have sustained injuries.
