The army also says no attack even occurred on that day.
Amnesty on Friday published satellite imagery it said showed "hundreds of burned structures" after fighters on motorcycles drove into the town and set homes on fire.
The army statement calls the Amnesty report "another futile effort" to portray the military as incapable.
