Gunmen with high-powered weapons open fire on Police patrol in Region 7 

Gunmen opened fire on a Police patrol at Wairawa Backdam, Cuyuni River, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni) on Sunday afternoon, leaving one officer injured.
The incident occurred around 14:00h while four Police ranks were conducting roving patrol operations in the area. During the operation, the ranks parked their All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) at a location and continued checks on foot in the surrounding terrain.
Reports revealed that after completing their patrols, two of the ranks returned to retrieve the ATVs, while the other members remained in the area conducting further checks. On their way back, the two ranks encountered three men dressed in camouflage and tactical clothing, each armed with high-powered rifles.
The suspects reportedly opened fire on the ranks. One officer returned fire while both officers took cover, after which the gunmen retreated into the dense forest.
The remaining members of the patrol later responded to the scene to assist their colleagues. During the exchange, one Police officer sustained minor injuries to his knee and rib area after falling while taking cover. No other injuries were reported.
Police have confirmed that investigations into the attack are ongoing.
