Three soldiers were killed and four others injured in two separate bomb attacks on Algerian army patrols in the last two days in the Tizi Ouzou province, El Khabar reported on Tuesday (August 14th). The first bomb exploded late Sunday in Amjoud forest targeting an army patrol and killing one soldier.

A second explosion in the same forest early on Monday claimed two other lives. Four soldiers were wounded in both attacks, including two municipal guards. The bombs were remotely controlled and exploded while the soldiers were on their way to the forest to continue a counter-terrorist operation, begun earlier in the week with heavy artillery and helicopters, Ech Chourouk reported.
