The statement reads: “Meanwhile during the operations, the terrorist deployed Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), Person Bourne Improvised Explosive Devices (suicide bombers) as well as Vehicle Bourne Improvised Explosive Devices (suicide bombers in explosive vehicles) to ward off troops advance and attacks.

 

“Troops already familiar with the terrorist tactics thwarted the several terrorist attempts, including shooting down the amateur drones used by the terrorists.”

 

Announcing the death of the 22 soldiers during operations, Gen. Buba said: “On this account, the media is enjoined to resist publishing names of troop casualties to allow the formal notification of their next of kin.

 

“On the whole, the operation is ongoing and the public will be updated on further developments in due course.”
