Makama disclosed that the gallant efforts of the troops prevented the attack on the community, resulting in the elimination of several insurgents.<\/p>\n
The security expert stated that the footage from the operation shows the aftermath of the clash, with the bodies of the terrorists killed in the attack on display.<\/p>\n
