Terrorists launched several attacks between Saturday and Sunday, probably to mark the assumption of command by a new leader. But the Combatant Forces neutralized more than a hundred among them and recovered important logistics, AIB learned from security sources on Sunday.
Near the Banh school in the Sahel, air vectors orbited a column of terrorists they were following.
The surgical strikes operated were conclusive and the assailants neutralized.
On Saturday, northeast of Ouahigouya, the enemy targeted a temporary stationing of the Combatant Forces, causing about forty casualties on the friendly side, during very violent combatants.
Fortunately, the attackers were subsequently spotted about thirty km from the scene by aerial vectors, before being decimated throughout the night.
Very early Sunday in Kongoussi, the terrorists who tried to attack a position of the Combatant Forces suffered a crushing defeat.
About ten of them were killed by the elements on the ground and the air vectors neutralized fugitives in several places.
Important logistics have been recovered by the brave fighters.
In Foutouri in the Eastern region, the Combatant Forces went to meet the enemy when they learned that he was planning to attack civilians.
Faced with the firepower of the Defense and Security Forces (FDS) and the Volunteers for the Defense of the Homeland (VDP), the terrorists fled but were short-circuited by air vectors.
The strikes made it possible to neutralize several of them.
According to our sources, the terrorists organized these attacks to mark the taking of command of a new leader because it is very likely that their leader Djaffar Dicko was killed by a Burkinabe army drone on April 1, 2023 in Nassoumbou .
It should be noted that the Combatant Forces have also ensured the past hours, the supply of several localities.
Our interlocutors ensure that the operations will intensify within the framework of the reconquest operation.
The FDS and the VDP ask the lost to save their lives, by surrendering their arms
