The Nation learnt that the bandits attacked Libale community in Nasko, Magama local government area but met with heavy military resistance
This resulted into an exchange of fire between the bandits and the military.
A security source told The Nation that two military men were killed in the attack while several other people were injured.

A resident in the Village said that the bandits ran into ‘mountain Libale’ which is a popular mountain in the community.
It was also learnt that the military and other security agents are currently combing the mountains and the forest for the bandits.
The Chinese is said to be one of the workers in the construction firm handling the road construction in the area.
