  • Usman Ali, a resident of the area, reported that attempts by locals to retrieve the deceased were thwarted by militants, and the bodies remain unrecovered.
  • The attack highlights the continued threat ISWAP poses to local communities relying on farming and fishing amid ongoing military efforts involving international support.
