Quick Response Forces (QRF) from the battalion swiftly mobilized to the area and engaged the terrorists in a heavy exchange of gunfire.
“The troops overpowered the terrorists, forcing them to retreat in disarray and abandon one motorcycle,” a source said.
The soldiers pursued the insurgents up to six kilometers from the ambush point, leading to the successful rescue of four abducted civilians. Items recovered from the scene included a pumping machine, a motorcycle tube, a pair of pliers, and three spanners.
