Through an analysis of the footage released, the ambush was conducted using various weapons, likely Small arms and light weapons, likely guns and rifles, including Technical vehicles  (civilian vehicles, in general, Toyota,  with improvised weapons installation), and four-wheel drive vehicle.  During the clashes, one of the ISWAP soldiers, named Abu Adam Al-Nigeri, was able to conduct a suicide vehicle improvised devices (SVBIED) operation, which led to the killing and wounded of a number of them, including two officers, while the rest fled, as reported by IS Central official statement.
