These sources indicate that an army patrol was attacked near the village of Nzacko, in Mbomou prefecture, resulting in the death of a soldier and a civilian. The soldier’s body was transferred to Nzacko, while that of the civilian was buried the same evening, according to a military source cited by Xinhua.
