The operation began around midnight with the strategic deployment of specialized units in Godet and Wynn Farm, marking the start of a methodical encirclement phase.
Hstilities began around 4:00 a.m. Thanks to a tactical engagement involving snipers and two drones, 16 bandits were fatally wounded. This is a preliminary report, provided by personnel on the ground at the time of the operation.
