The Cameroonian army announced the elimination of at least four militants and the wounding of others during a military operation in the southwestern region of Cameroon.
And the RT website quoted the Cameroonian army as saying in a statement last night: "At least four armed men were killed during a military operation in the southwestern region of Cameroon," noting that a number of separatists were wounded when the army repelled an ambush targeting a military convoy in the region. Otto is near the Nigerian border.
The Cameroonian army added that two other soldiers were wounded during the same operation.
The north and southwest of Cameroon, where the English-speaking minority live in a predominantly French-speaking country, have been witness to a five-year armed insurgency, with the army and separatist groups engaged in almost daily confrontations.
According to the report of the United Nations and international non-governmental organizations, the separatist conflict in Cameroon since 2017, has killed more than 3,500 people and displaced 700,000.
