The battles began in the early morning of June 25, with revolutionary forces launching simultaneous attacks on all military council camps. During the operations, they seized 16 heavy and light weapons, along with ammunition and numerous military equipment. The revolutionary forces suffered one casualty and two injuries during the offensive.
