Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have neutralised two terrorists in a successful ambush at Dipchari, near Banki Junction in Bama Local Government Area of Borno.
The ambush, conducted by troops of 151 Task Force Battalion on Friday evening, followed intelligence on terrorist movements in the area, according to a special situation report from the Headquarters 7 Division, Nigerian Army, on Saturday in Maiduguri.
During the encounter, the troops killed two insurgents while others fled with possible gunshot wounds.
Recovered items include two AK-47 rifles, two magazines, 16 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, one RPG tube, and a motorcycle.
Operation Hadin Kai troops have intensified clearance operations, ambushes, and patrols across the North East in recent weeks, aimed at denying terrorists freedom of movement and access to logistics.
