Gunbattle in Kampung Kembara Sakti yesterday

Following efforts by the Malaysian security forces to flush out the remaining Sulu gunmen who have invaded East Sabah, a gunbattle took place in Kampung Kembara Sakti yesterday night.

The incident happened around 11pm.

Astro Awani was told that the efforts to trap the Sulu gunmen started at 9pm.

It was believed that village folks from that area are being relocated as the area is not a red zone area.

Kampung Kembara Sakti is located about 40km from Felda Sahabat 17, the main area where the mopping out and flushing out operation are currently being conducted.

Deputy Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar declined to comment on the matter when met. He said a press conference about the gunbattle will be held today.
