The assaults took place on Friday, October 30, 2026. The first incident was reported at around 7:25 p.m., according to the police.\n\nThe assailants initially tried to impede traffic on Rambo Junction along the Ribah–Dirin Daji Road, but their attempt was thwarted by a joint team consisting of police officers, military personnel, and local vigilantes. According to the police spokesperson, the security operatives exchanged fire with the attackers and forced them to flee.\n\nRegrettably, the attackers returned and resumed their assault, firing sporadically from various directions within the community. During this exchange, a 47-year-old security guard named Hassan Boder was fatally shot by a bullet at a recently built filling station along the Ribah–Kanya Road. The police stated that the joint security team responded to a distress call, engaged the attackers once more, and successfully defended against the second assault.\n\nThe police command further revealed that security operations have been heightened, with continuous patrols implemented to prevent any further attacks and to apprehend those responsible for the banditry.",
