Houses were reportedly ransacked, and valuables were taken as the assailants moved freely through the area. Community members described the attack as swift and terrifying, adding to the growing fear in the region.

Many urged authorities to deploy more personnel, improve intelligence gathering, and ensure that those responsible for these attacks are brought to justice to restore peace in the state.
