YAOUNDE, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) -- At least two Cameroonian government forces have been killed in an ambush by suspected separatist fighters in the country's restive Anglophone region, local defense sources said Sunday.
The incident occurred in Lipenja, a village of the Southwest region Saturday.
A senior military official told Xinhua that bodies of the two government forces were recovered after the gunmen ambushed the security check point in the locality.
Two other members of the security were injured in the attack, said the source who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The separatist fighters have been clashing with government forces since 2017 when they declared the "independence" of Cameroon's two Anglophone regions of Northwest and Southwest. Enditem
