Makama stated that witness accounts and emerging images from the scene revealed the group’s use of overwhelming numbers, coordinated tactics, and heavy fire support to overrun local defenses.
“The assault, described as a “submersion attack,” involved dozens of fighters who overwhelmed security positions with sustained fire from mounted heavy machine guns, including a double-barreled 14.5mm weapon a hallmark of their recent escalations,” he said.
