OPERATION SHUJAA: Museveni gives update on latest UPDF air force attack on terrorists inside DR Congo
Museveni: “It is futile and very dangerous to the individuals involved, to think that they can kill Ugandans and be safe themselves."
In a brief statement on Thursday, President Yoweri Museveni who is the Commander In Chief of the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) confirmed that on 4th of October, 2023, Ugandan fighter- bombers attacked a terrorist base in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in the Mambasa territory area.
The President didn’t name which terrorist group was attached but revealed that three targets were attacked, 180kms, 184kms and 200kms, respectively, from the border on the Ntoroko side.
“I congratulate the Air-force, the Special Duties Regiment (SDR) and UPDF in general, on the good work they are doing to protect our Congolese brothers and sisters as well as Ugandans from these spoilt actors who are, moreover, ignorant of what war actually means.
“They have been inviting us to pay attention to them by killing Ugandans and we are now responding to the invitation. The attacks are invariably precise, and we shall find out, after some time, who and how many terrorists died.
“It is futile and very dangerous to the individuals involved, to think that they can kill Ugandans and be safe themselves.
We salute the Government of H.E Tshisekedi for agreeing to work with us and allowing us to assist them and, in the process, assist ourselves as Ugandans.” Museveni said.
