At approximately 2:30 a.m., the troops made contact with the terrorists in Koibe village and engaged them in a fierce gun battle, forcing the insurgents to retreat in disarray—many believed to have sustained gunshot wounds—as they fled toward the Boboshe axis.
In a subsequent clearance operation, troops discovered two freshly dug graves at Boboshe containing the bodies of neutralized terrorists.
While attempting to recover the bodies around 11:00 a.m., troops again came under fire from surviving terrorist elements. The soldiers responded decisively and pursued the fleeing insurgents toward the Gargash general area.
The military continues to sustain pressure on insurgent groups in the region through aggressive clearance operations and targeted ambushes.
