According to a security official, PDF terrorists attacked security forces who are taking security measures about 3,000 metres southeast of Chatthin village of Kanbalu Township using heavy and small weapons on 25 August. When the combined security forces launched a counterattack, terrorists retreated. After security measures, security forces seized three dead bodies of terrorists, handmade weapons, and grenades.
