Special Forces Annihilate Major Terrorist Base in Wambsouya

WAMBSOUYA—The Special Forces of the Gambo unit have successfully obliterated a significant terrorist stronghold in Wambsouya, correcting earlier reports that identified the location as Welguemsifou.

According to Burkina Information Agency, This operation, conducted on March 8, 2024, in the North-Central zone, began with a missile strike that decimated many terrorists and their resources in an orchard approximately twenty kilometers from Barsalgho. The initial strike paved the way for a more extensive operation against a major terrorist base discovered nearby in an abandoned village. A coordinated assault was launched at dawn by the Gambo Special Forces, later reinforced by another commando unit. The intense nine-hour conflict resulted in a significant loss for the terrorists, with dozens neutralized and a substantial cache of stolen vehicles, fuel, weapons, and military equipment seized. This victory is part of a series of successful actions taken by the Combatant Forces in their mission to reconquer territory and restore peace in the region.
