The '''Battle of Akanran''' took place during the [[Apatonia Civil War|Biulundo conflict]] in [[Apatonia]] on August 21st, 2022. The battle began when a force of over 500 [[Lundia Defense Forces|LDF]] and [[Al-Fijar|al-Fijar]] militants assaulted COB Akanran near the town of [[Akanran]] in Lundia province, southeastern Apatonia. The attack was the first loss of life for [[Coalition of Crown Albatross#Peacekeeping_and_Security|CCA peacekeepers]] (CCAMSA) since the [[2022 Sifondo embassy attacks|January 4th embassy attacks]] in [[Sifondo]]. The attack on the base resulted in 8 [[Zamastan]]ians, 2 [[Timeria]]ns, 1 [[Peoratia]]n, and 14 Apatonians killed and 107 wounded while the insurgents suffered an estimated 250 killed. 

The facility had been scheduled to be closed within days, part of a wider effort by Apatonian President [[James Etémé]] to cede remote outposts and consolidate troops in more populated areas to better protect Lundian civilians from LDF assaults. Sources said the LDF may have been watching the troops make preparations to depart and launched their attack at a time of vulnerability. The LDF were able to use their higher positions to fire into the base, pinning down the troops. As the attack progressed, the troops were forced back when enemy fighters managed to breach the outer perimeter of the outpost.
