Authorities say the motive behind the assault remains unclear, but initial investigations suggest the gunmen may have been shielding accomplices involved in livestock theft. It is suspected that the attackers were part of a larger group driving away stolen animals during the ambush.
The injured officer was promptly transported to a nearby medical facility and is reported to be in stable condition.
Police have launched a manhunt for the suspects, who fled the scene under the cover of darkness.
Security has since been heightened in the region, with additional personnel deployed to reinforce patrols and safeguard local communities. Residents have been urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to authorities.
