However, the terrorists had already laid an ambush along the route and targeted the reinforcements, causing severe damage to the lead armoured personnel carrier (APC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite what the IG&nbsp;described as challenging conditions, police officers and personnel &#8220;fought the enemy with exceptional bravery and professional skill&#8221;.
