Original
The shelling continued effectively on the village until 2000 and the number of shells reached 20 shells. Fires broke out in Bajira village and the horsemen withdrew from the village to the valley located behind the village. Bajira village is more than three kilometers away from our camp. We were not able to know the caliber of the artillery. We learned from the horsemen coming from the village that it was a large-caliber artillery. The intense shelling continued with an exchange of fire between the horsemen and the rebels until 2300, when the total number of shells reached 55 shells. The rebels reached the left bank of the Khazir to surround the village. At 1930, the heads of the horsemen came to our camp and urgently demanded support with artillery, otherwise they would leave the area. At 2330, we shelled the outposts.
