The action involving the Namibians took place in Cunene province on May 23. UNITA guerrillas ambushed a seven vehicle convoy, killing 12 Angolan government (MPLA) soldiers and five Namibian troops. There was no independent substantiation of the claims. In fact, Namibia issued a statement calling the UNITA claims a complete lie.
