NAF Airstrikes Eliminate 15 Terrorists in Sambisa Forest
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has neutralized over 15 terrorists in targeted airstrikes on a newly discovered hideout west of Zuwa in the Sambisa area of Borno.
This was confirmed in a statement issued on Thursday in Abuja by the NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame.
Ejodame said the air interdiction mission, conducted on Wednesday under Operation Hadin Kai, followed credible intelligence and confirmatory surveillance which revealed the enclave was harbouring fighters and commanders behind recent attacks around Bitta.
He said the strikes destroyed key structures and inflicted significant losses on the terrorists.
Ejodame added that the operation demonstrated the NAF’s professionalism and resolve in supporting ground forces and safeguarding Nigerians.
He stressed that every successful strike brought the country closer to lasting peace by dismantling terrorist networks.
