According to a statement by the Media Information Officer, Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI, Lieutenant Colonel Sani Uba, the operation came shortly after troops had neutralised over 50 terrorists in a previous encounter at Katarko. The fresh engagement saw troops of Sector 1 under 24 Task Force Brigade foil an infiltration attempt into Gamboru Ngala from the Flatari axis.
“At approximately 23:50 hours on 25 October 2025, the troops, while manning a pre-established ambush position, identified and engaged the hostile elements. The unit delivered heavy and accurate suppressive fire, forcing the insurgents to retreat in disarray,” the statement read.
At first light, the area was systematically cleared, confirming 10 terrorists neutralised. A thorough search led to the recovery of firearms, ammunition, and equipment - including five AK-47 rifles, a PKT machine gun, locally-made weapons, loaded magazines, motorcycles, bicycles, and assorted personal items.
The Military High Command commended the troops for their gallantry and professionalism, reaffirming that the success of the ambush underscores the effectiveness of ongoing counter-insurgency operations in the region. OPHK remains committed to sustaining offensive actions, protecting civilians, and restoring lasting peace to the North East.
