(IDPs) fetching water at a borehole located about 3 kilometres, outskirt of
Monguno town along Marte road. Our vigilant troops detected and gunned them
down, killing both instantly.’’
“Unfortunately, the explosive they were strapped with
exploded and injured 2 civilians nearby. The injured persons have been
evacuated and are receiving medical attention at the 8 Task Force Division’s
