destroyed during the encounter.
According to him, over 10 soldiers were, however, wounded, while one
died, following explosions of land mines along the routes of advance.
He said some equipment were also damaged or affected by the detonation
of land mines in several points in the forest.
Olukolade added, "A total of 20 women and children were rescued at the
end of the Friday operation.They have all been airlifted out of the
forest.
"The wounded soldiers have also been moved out for necessary treatment.
"Two major ammunition dumps, maintained by the terrorists in the
forest were also destroyed, along with the four additional terrorists
camps that were smashed in the operation of Friday."
He explained that an armoured tank and over 10 vehicles, of various
types, being used for terrorists operations as well as 70 motorcycles
and 15 tricycles had also perished during the operation.
The Defence spokesman said air and artillery bombardment of identified
terrorists camps and locations in various parts of the forest,
including the Alafa aspect, were still ongoing as troops continued the
offensive against the terrorists.
Olukolade added that a cordon-and-search operation around Bitta, Borno
State, had been intensified following an incident, where two young
boys were wounded after picking up a grenade from a refuse dump.
