In the attack, six enemy soldiers were killed and a few other others managed to escape into the bushes with injuries. Five AK47 riffles and assorted quantities of ammunition were also captured.

According to a press release issued by Suba Samuel, the official NAS Spokesperson, NAS forces in the area have been closely monitoring the enemy’s reconnaissance operations and their preparations for attacks on NAS positions as well as their ploys to displace civilians in the area.
The destroyed vehicle, which was in the center of the operation collecting intelligence on NAS defensive positions and facilitating displacement of civilians, is said to belong to the guards of Vice-President Wani Igga who hails from the same area.
“NAS Leadership commends NAS Command in the area, Officers and other ranks in Lo’bonok for this successful operation aimed at destroying the enemy intelligence capability. NAS is monitoring the movement of the enemy troops closely and assure its members that the NAS gallant revolutionary combatants are ready to fight back any aggression against its positions,” read the press statement in part.
NAS reiterates its commitment to the Cession of Hostilities Agreement (CoHA) signed on 21st December 2017 in Addis Ababa Ethiopia, and to the Rome Declaration signed on 20th January 2020 signed in Rome, Italy. NAS, however, reserves the right to self-defense.
