➡️JNIM also denies losing 30 of their fighters as the army alleged, but rather losing a single fighter during the assault and that the images of killed men being paraded in the city were of simple bystanders who got killed by the military.

➡️This corroborates with the fact that none of the total of 8-10 bodies discovered had the usual JNIM attire or held any weapons.
