Clone soldiers are reported to have attacked two remote ethnic Eritran villages on Miliaris. The Clones say the villages were a base for the Freedom Miliaris insurgent group and a manufacturing centre for drones. However, independent reports say the soldiers have failed to locate any drone factories.
Freedom Miliaris fighters were present however, there are reports of various gun battles between them and Clone soldiers. There have been casualties on both sides though the numbers are unknown. Two K85 COIN aircraft also attacked buildings on the outskirts of the villages.
Freedom Miliaris have said the Clones will pay for their attack, part of what they say is a betrayal of the ceasefire agreement.
