Several reports (government and press) indicate a large force of UNITA guerrillas (one report said 500) ambushed a large truck convoy on the highway near the town of Catata. The attack took place on September 21. 21 trucks were destroyed. This indicates that UNITA is once again able to stage "main force" (battalion and larger) operations inside Angola.
