From Major Bilal Katamba, Public information Officer, UPDF Mountain Division/Operation Shujaa
The Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (UPDF), in its joint operation with the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC), yesterday (8th April 2024), put out of action an Allied Democratic Forces commander and the outfit’s medic known as ‘Dr’ Musa.
‘Dr’ Musa was killed in action by a joint mobile squad forces under the 83 battalion of the UPDF at Mugulumugulu near Tokomeka, 30km Northwest of Kainama.
‘Dr’ Musa, who is of Rwandan origin at the time of his death, was operating closely with another notorious ADF commander called Muhammad Luminsa.
The joint forces recovered one Sub Machine Gun (SMG) and one Radio (walkie-talkie).
The tactical efforts to locate, fix and neutralise other group members still at large by the joint troops continue.
The ADF has intensified the implanting of improvised explosive devices (IEDs). However, the joint forces’ technical explosive ordinance disposal (EOD) teams are handling the IED threats.
The joint forces continue to aggressively pursue the ADF remnants in their scattered hideouts in all four sectors of the operation.
