The Royal Nepal Army (RNA) is carrying out a search operation against the
anti-government guerrillas in all the districts of far-western Nepal, Radio
Nepal reported Monday.
"A large number of rebels were killed in a large-scale offensive carried out
by the RNA using long-range weapons in the forest area at Jayagadh and Chhatasen
in Achham district," the state-run radio quoted a statement of the RNA West
Divisional Headquarters as saying.
The security forces also recovered a large number of socket bombs, medicines,
radios and equipment for laying booby traps as well as an indigenously-made
mortar from the sites of incidents, the statement said.
More than 11,000 Nepalese people have lost their lives since the
anti-government insurgency broke out in February 1996.
