Operation FANSAN YAMMA troops rescued 23 kidnapped civilians and foiled a separate kidnapping attempt in Zamfara State.
In Anka Local Government Area, combat patrols discovered terrorists and successfully released three adult males and 20 females who had been held captive for three weeks. The rescued individuals are now receiving medical care and support before being reunited with their families.
Meanwhile, in Bungudu Local Government Area, troops intercepted armed bandits attempting to abduct residents. Intense gunfire ensued, and the superior firepower of the troops forced the bandits to retreat without kidnapping any civilians. Bloodstains were found along the terrorists' escape route, indicating that some attackers may have been injured during the confrontation.
Zamfara's troops are maintaining a strong presence in the region and will continue operations to track down the fleeing terrorists.
