Government troops backed by helicopter gunships fought fierce battles with rebels in northern Uganda, in the remote Ugandan area of Bibia (80 kilometers from the northern town of Gulu). In running battles, the army claimed to have killed 56 out of a group of 100 or more that had crossed into Uganda on the 19th. This group led by Vincent Otti, a High Value Target who unfortunately survived the attacks. - Adam Geibel
