Burkina Faso : Security Forces triumph in various regions of the country

In a recent episode of the ongoing fight against terrorism, Burkinabe security forces have conducted a series of successful operations, repelling attacks and destroying terrorist bases in different regions of the country.

On Friday, March 15, a liberation act took place in Kossouka, where security forces rescued residents from the hands of terrorists who held them hostage. This courageous intervention restored tranquility to the community, which had experienced days of anguish.

The next day, surviving terrorists attempted to launch further attacks on civilians. However, the Burkinabe air forces were prepared and swiftly detected their movement. Missiles were successfully launched, neutralizing the imminent threat and preventing any further attacks against innocent populations.

In the Yalgo region, air forces pursued terrorist groups moving in vehicles and motorcycles towards Silmangue. The terrorists thought they could evade surveillance, but Burkinabe aviators relentlessly tracked them down. The ensuing airstrikes forced the terrorists to scatter, inflicting heavy losses on their ranks.

On Sunday, March 17, a decisive operation was conducted against a terrorist base in Natiaboini. Air forces focused their efforts on this strategic installation, reducing it to a field of debris with powerful bombings. This surgical strike not only eliminated a direct threat but also sent a clear message to terrorists: Burkina Faso will not tolerate their destructive activities.

In the battle against terrorism, the commando unit of the National Commando Training Center (CNEC) in Pô played a crucial role. Mobilized to confront terrorists on the ground, these seasoned commandos fought with bravery and determination.

After neutralizing the attackers, they seized valuable military equipment before allowing security forces to set fire to the terrorist base, destroying all remnants of the infrastructure used by extremist groups.

These recent operations demonstrate Burkina Faso’s unwavering determination to protect its citizens against terrorist threats. The country’s security forces remain on high alert, ready to respond swiftly and effectively to any sign of danger. These successes are tangible proof of the country’s ability to combat terrorism and ensure security and stability for all its citizens.
