Troops from the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) successfully repelled an attack by fighters from the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) on their base in Darak, Cameroon. The attack occurred around 1 am on Wednesday, with the MNJTF troops launching a counteroffensive that resulted in the death of at least six ISWAP fighters and the injury of four others. The MNJTF suffered five injuries during the operation. Additionally, intelligence reports suggest a leadership change within ISWAP, with Abu Usman replacing Abu Sale as the new leader of Marte, and the group is reportedly planning further attacks.
