notes: On 11 May 2020, suspected ISGS militants ambushed an army unit in Kankanfogouol (Tankougounadie, Yagha), and killed eight soldiers. Four soldiers were initially announced dead, while four others were later found dead. Military authorities belatedly stated that twenty militants were neutralized in the clashes, a figure that could not be independently verified.
