Military raid (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sortie

'military raid' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sortie that I've seen before include "Operational flight by a bomber or fighter" , "Sudden attack by besieged troops" , "Single military flight" , "Attack launched from place of siege" , "Military foray" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
