“In what could be described as a blitzkrieg, the troops routed the terrorists and captured the their enclave.


“The terrorists fled the camp leaving behind their heavy weapon arsenal.

“After a thorough cordon and search of the captured camp, the gallant troops recovered various equipment including 1x Main Battle Tank, 1x 155mm Bofors Gun, 1xTrailer,1x122mm Gun, 2x105mm Gun, 1x Mines Resistance Ambush Protected (MRAP) fighting vehicle, 1x MOWAG Armoured Personnel Carrier, 1x Mack Trailer, as well as large cache of arms and ammunition left behind by the terrorists.

“Further exploitation is ongoing.

“The capture of the terrorists stronghold of Camp Zairo is a major setback to the terrorist criminals.

“The military High Command commends the ever conquering troops of Op HADIN KAI for this immense success.

“However, the military high command enjoined the troops not to rest on their oars, but urged the soldiers to use the victory as a springboard to finally defeat the insurgents and also keep up the fighting spirit,” he said.
