Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have repelled an attempted attack by Boko Haram terrorists on the newly resettled community of Delwa in Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State.
According to Zagazola Makama, the terrorists launched the attack late Tuesday night from three different directions and also attempted to ambush motorists along the Molai–Delwa road.
The source said soldiers of the 7 Division Garrison responded swiftly with superior firepower, forcing the insurgents to withdraw.
According to the sources, one terrorist was neutralised during the encounter, while troops recovered a bandolier containing two 36mm hand grenades and three empty AK-47 magazines.
He added that follow-up exploitation conducted on Wednesday morning led to the recovery of 31 rounds of PKT ammunition and two machine-gun rounds.
“There were traces of blood along the withdrawal route used by the terrorists, indicating the likelihood of additional casualties on their side,” the source said.
The sources noted that no troop casualty was recorded in the incident.
