Also, one UPDF soldier RA/234770 Yasir Yasin was killed in action.

Kulayigye revealed that several items were recovered from them, which include; four SMGs, 313 SMG rounds, 189PK rounds, five empty magazines, five Walkie Talkie Radios with their charger pots, eight solar panels and five solar batteries, 11 pieces of Quran, nine phones, two UPDF and eight FARDC uniform shirts, three FARDC backpacks and two ponchos.

In 2021, the UPDF entered DR Cong to hunt for the ADF rebels after terror attacks in Kampala City that left at least 10 people dead and dozens injured.

According to the Defence Ministry, since Operation Shujaa commenced, more than 400 rebels have been killed and several areas liberated from the control of the group.
