The Nigerian Army claims troops deployed for counter-terrorism operations in Kaduna State stopped a terrorist attack on a community, killing two terrorists.
According to the Department of Army Public Relations, troops acting on intelligence intercepted four armed terrorists on motorcycles at a known terrorist crossing point in Kurmin Aja, Kagarko Local Government Area, Kaduna State, only moments before their planned attack.
The statement added that the troops, in a well-executed ambush, engaged the terrorists in an intense firefight and neutralised two of them, while others fled with gunshot wounds into a nearby forest.
After the operation, a thorough search of the area led to the recovery of two AK-47 rifles, 30 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, three magazines, and two motorbikes belonging to the terrorists.
The Army advised residents of the area to remain vigilant, go about their lawful businesses and promptly report any suspicious activity to security agencies.
