In early February 1964, the Somali Army attacked Ethiopian police units at Inaguha (southeast of Jijiga), Dabagoryale (northeast of Aware), Ferfer, Yät, and Dolo, with most of its forces attacking Togochale (northeast of Jijiga). In response, Ethiopia sent an airborne company, an infantry battalion, an artillery battery, and a mechanized platoon with M24 tanks to Togochale,[4] and with support from the air force, which began punitive strikes across the southwestern frontier against Feerfeer (northeast of Beledweyne) and Galkacyo, the Somali offensive was quickly repulsed.
