Die weermag van Botswana (BDF) het vier stropers in drie afsonderlike voorvalle in die Okavango-delta doodgeskiet. Volgens 'n mediaverklaring van die BDF het die voorvalle oor sewe dae tussen 22 en 29 Junie plaasgevind toe heen en weer tussen die weermag en stopers geskiet is. "Die kontakgebiede was by Mombo, Kurunxaraga en die Selina-oorloop in die gebied van Linyanti. Daar is ’n onrusbarende oplewing van renosterstropery in die Okavango-delta en stropers volhard met genadelose taktieke met BDF-lede as teiken," lui die verklaring.

The Botswana Defense Force (BDF) shot dead four poachers in three separate incidents in the Okavango Delta. According to a BDF media release, the incidents occurred over seven days between June 22 and 29, when gunfire was shot back and forth between the army and poachers. "The contact areas were at Mombo, Kurunxaraga and the Selina overflow in the Linyanti area. There is an alarming resurgence of rhino poaching in the Okavango Delta and poachers persevere with ruthless tactics with BDF members as target," the statement states.
