Incident Details
The incident occurred at approximately 17:58 hours on June 6, 2026, when troops stationed at Forward Operating Base Molai received intelligence reports indicating that armed terrorists had intercepted and abducted civilians traveling along the route.
In response, troops were immediately mobilized for a fighting patrol to the location. Upon arrival in the general area, they reportedly made contact with the terrorists, leading to a clash.
Rescue of Victims

Security Situation
