Since Saturday, Nigerian Air Force (NAF) aircraft and ground troops from Operation Hadarin Daji have been conducting a well-coordinated joint operation against terrorists.
On Tuesday, credible community sources told PRNigeria that ten soldiers were killed.
“At least we counted 213 bodies of the bandit terrorists and their collaborators. Some civilians too were killed in what the military called ‘collateral damage’ when fleeing bandits hid in the communities.
“The attack on troops occurred when the troops with the support of local vigilantes were navigating the terrains for counter-attacks,” he said.
“I wish to, on behalf of myself, my family, the State Government and the entire good people of Zamfara state, extend my sincere sympathy to those who were injured and the families of those who died as a result of this collateral damage,” the Governor said.
