In a statement signed by the Acting Assistant Director, Army Public Relations of the Brigade, Lieutenant Hassan Abdullahi, the exercise will run from the 25th to the 28th of August.
According to the statement, the exercise is designed to sharpen the shooting skills of officers and soldiers, while also testing the serviceability of weapons not currently deployed for operations.
