UPDF Troops Thwart Jie Warriors’ Cattle Rustling Attempt, Recover Loot

The Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (UPDF) conducted a successful operation in Kailong Dam, Chamokok Sub County, Abim District, resulting in the neutralisation of two Jie warriors.

 

The operation, carried out by troops from the 85 Battalion, 507 Brigade, under the 5 Infantry Division, led to the recovery of stolen items, including:

  • An AK-47 sub-machine gun (serial number 19522) with three rounds of ammunition
  • A pair of UPDF digital uniforms
  • Gun oil
  • A bull seized by the warriors

The UPDF troops ambushed a group of five Jie warriors who had stolen the bull from Agonga Village, Alekele Sub County, Abim District, resulting in the killing of two warriors.

 

The UPDF appreciates the collaborative efforts of local leadership in maintaining security within the sub-region.
