The soldiers were said to be returning from an operation in a nearby forest when they were ambushed. A resident of the area told the publication; 

“Unknown to the soldiers, the bandits had laid ambush in their outpost. The bandits opened fire immediately the soldiers returned to the posts.

“It is unfortunate because the soldiers were just returning from another operation, where they made tremendous success, combing the forests for the bandits, only to be waylaid in their base.”

Another resident said two of the bandits were killed during the gun duel.
