The military was responding to an attack when the clash erupted, forcing the troops to engage in a fierce gun battle with the terrorists.
The confrontation occurred in the northeastern part of Nigeria, a region plagued by over a decade of insurgency. Despite the losses, the Nigerian military successfully repelled the attackers, preventing further casualties and securing the area.
According to military sources, the gallant officers paid the ultimate price in defense of the nation.
Their bravery in the face of danger is being hailed by colleagues and civilians alike. The bodies of the fallen heroes have been recovered, and reinforcements have since been deployed to the area.

As the nation mourns its heroes, the call for a sustained counterterrorism effort remains louder than ever.
