Comment: If this event has some special significance in the overall context of the war, then that isn't made clear in this sub-stub. And if it doesn't have such significance, and is merely another in a long series of skirmishes, then it probably isn't notable enough to justify an article. In any case, it's not clear why it would require a separate article, as opposed to being added to one of the existing ones. DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:59, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
