Burkina Faso: Many extensive Operations against the terrorists

The fighting forces are pursuing with determination, anti-terrorist operations as part of the effort to reconquest Burkinabe territory. For the past few months, there hasn’t been a day where regular troops haven’t successfully thwarted an enemy attack or gone on the offensive.

As a result, the number of deaths among the attackers now totals in the dozens, as they stubbornly refuse to accept the authorities’ offer to surrender.

According to the Burkina News Agency (AIB), on the night of Sunday April 9th to Monday April 10th 2023, volunteer defenders of the homeland (VDP) in Kelbo repelled an enemy attack on their position in the Soum province, Sahel region.

 They dispersed and retreated the enemy forces after defeating them. However, with the help of aerial resources, one of the enemy groups was pursued to Pougzenbaogo and several terrorists were neutralized in air strikes.

According to the same source, on Monday, April 10th, units from the 6thgroup of the Burkinabe army carried out ground offensives in the north of Burkina Faso.

These high-level combat operations targeted terrorist sanctuaries, which saw the noose tightening around them.

Faced with the military’s strength, the terrorists tried to flee towards the Malian border and took refuge in abandoned houses. This is where they were targeted by air strikes.

According to the AIB, through this operation, many terrorists and their equipment were targeted and hit.  The regular Troops neutralized several  attackers also in other parts of the country.
