Troops of Sector 8, Sub-Sector 81, Operation Hakorin Damisa (OPEP), have foiled an attempted reprisal attack on Jwerk Kargung Village in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The incident occurred at about 8:35 p.m. on Sept. 20, 2026, following reports of sporadic gunshots around the community.
Troops deployed at Mangu Halle, alongside personnel of Operation Rainbow and Keystone Mangu Division, swiftly responded to the report and moved to the affected area.
According to military sources, the quick intervention of the troops forced the gunmen, suspected to be Fulani militias, who were allegedly attempting to attack the village, to withdraw into the bush.
The troops subsequently dominated the general area and commenced offensive operations to frustrate further criminal activities and prevent the attackers from regrouping.
Security forces are maintaining patrols around the community as efforts continue to safeguard residents and prevent further attacks.
