Houses in some parts of the village were also set ablaze as the population fled into the bushes for safety.Interior places used as safety grounds during gun battles locals say are becoming risky by the day, as the military is said to have extended burning right to Ke’nven, an interior part of the village.Today’s attack comes on the heels of another by the military on Tuesday that left a popular man in weh, Kaisa killed. Months back, we are told, the military surprised the population during a general clean-up campaign and assured them they are there to protect them and should not run when they see them. The havoc of this week by the military has kept many in shock wondering why the very people who assured them of protection continue burning houses and shooting.
