The battle for Pale, which has been going on for the past four days, was forced to retreat by the arrival of reinforcements from the military council just before the city was taken. The military council’s troops had already cleared many of the rebel positions in the city. While clearing the remaining rebel remnants, the military council dropped reinforcements by helicopter. During these days of fighting, the military council fought back from the air every day. The revolutionary groups had also cut off the ground supply routes, so they dropped reinforcements from the air. After the arrival of more than a hundred reinforcements, the revolutionary groups had to retreat from the city.
