Early in the morning of Wednesday October 11, 2023 in Yamba in Gourma province, at least 500 terrorists launched an assault against a Combatant Forces position.
After violent fighting, the criminals fled to the East.
A chase will follow, initiated by air vectors and combat helicopters.
Thus, the small groups of criminals scattered in the wild were successfully struck.
Their companions who took refuge in the bushes and those who were going to stop, were charred by missiles.
After the helicopters passed, the bodies of the assassins were visible from the air, according to photos sent to the AIB by security sources.
The determination and bravery of the Fighting Forces was total and flawless. However, there are losses among them.
Earlier on October 9, 2023, the FDS and VDP made criminals bite the dust who attacked a VDP p
osition in Sadiankono, near Djibasso in the Boucle du Mouhoun.
The high number of bodies and weapons abandoned by the terrorists testify to the vigor of the response put forward by the brave fighters.
