The Mujahideen attacked the enemy and killed 3 Russians in a short firefight. Several invaders were also left wounded but their precise number is unknown.
After the firefight, Russian artillery and war helicopters pounded for 4 hours the forest-covered area where the firefight had happened. There were no losses among the Mujahideen.
