In a statement by the State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, it said, “Security agencies, comprising the military and police, reported that Gora Gan community was attacked on several fronts, including the market area and houses stretching towards the Tudun Wada area of Gora Gan.
“Troops repelled the attackers, stabilized the general area and retrieved corpses of seven persons.
“Security agencies further reported that one person was injured in the attacks, while 13 houses and two shops were burnt in the attack.
“Troops of  Operation Safe Haven (OPSH), Special Forces of the Defence Headquarters and police personnel are trailing the attackers.
