Operation Overview According to available reports, units from the Amhara Fano National Force 2nd Division conducted a coordinated military operation early this morning. The Bahir Dar Brigade—under the command of Commander Asaminew—and the Tanew Berek Brigade reportedly converged from opposite directions beginning around 1:30 AM. Their movement spanned several designated areas, including Dena Mariam Yigodi in the Tanew Berek Zone, Wanjeta Kebele, and the Achfer Zone of Chinba City.
Engagement and Outcomes During the course of the operation, the forces engaged a fortified position. Reports indicate that the action resulted in the seizure of various pieces of armed equipment, including one machine gun, fifteen AK-47 rifles, four hand grenades, and seven units of waist armor. Additionally, it was reported that twelve combatants were taken into custody, twenty-nine opposing personnel were confirmed killed, and two individuals from an adversary patrol sustained injuries.
Coordination Among Units The report notes that an alliance was formed between the 2nd Chief of the Amut Yazachew Brigade and a leader from the Bahir Dar Brigade’s Degu Beley. As part of a broader coordination effort, a zone meeting is scheduled for later today in Adet City (dated 17.09.2017 E.C.). Sources also mentioned that additional allied units—including those from Densa Bata, Kokare, Edet Hana, Milach Ber, and the Yohannes Alemayehu Brigade of the second division—participated in various urban and regional operations. In one instance, units identified as being led by commanders called “Lightning” and “Snake” of the Densa Bata Brigade reportedly maintained a presence in a key area for several hours after penetrating opposing defenses.
Additional Details of the Action Other parts of the report describe collaboration between a commando unit operating near ADET Hana and another unit led by the commander known as Beley Zeleke. This cooperation is said to have led to the destruction of several targets associated with opposing forces. The operation reportedly saw the capture of equipment described as fifteen “clutch soul weight weapons” and one thousand “clash shooters.” In addition, an explosive device was detonated as part of the operation. Three vehicles were reportedly used to transport injured personnel to medical facilities, and although opposing forces reportedly attempted to retreat and employ countermeasures, these actions did not result in further damage.
Official Confirmation Habtamu Yusuf, a representative for AFNF First Division Public Relations, acknowledged that the operation took place. Military authorities are expected to release additional details and verify the reported actions in forthcoming briefings.
