It was preliminary established that five militants broke through to the territory of the military academy using rocket-propelled grenade launchers and small arms. In addition, according to some reports, several explosions occurred near the academy.
As a result of the operation, four attackers were killed, one detained.
Five servicemen were killed and 10 were wounded. Responsibility for the morning attack was taken by the terrorist organization "Islamic State".
As previously reported in URA-Inform, the head of the Pentagon, James Mattis, believes that the final victory on the "Islamic state" is still far from reality. According to him, one should not trust those who confidently assert that a military victory over IGIL will finish or stop other terrorist conflicts around the world.
