Security analyst Zagazola Makama, in his post on X on Tuesday, quoted security sources that the encounter occurred at about 5:30 p.m. on Monday, November 9, 2026, when troops of Sector 2 OPEP manning a blocking position along the Wanka axis sighted an unconfirmed number of suspected terrorists approaching on several motorcycles.
