In the initial encounter, troops neutralized five bandits and seized two motorcycles. During a follow-up operation, the fleeing bandits regrouped and launched a counterattack on the troops, who decisively repelled them and pursued them into the hills.

The security forces then engaged the retreating bandits with mortar fire, killing seven more and scattering the remaining fighters.

Further exploitation of the area led to the capture of seven additional motorcycles belonging to the terrorists.
