The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has dealt another devastating blow to terrorists operating in Borno State, destroying three gun trucks and neutralizing several insurgents in a precision airstrike.
According to a statement by the NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Group Captain Kabiru Ali, the airstrike was conducted over the weekend around the Timbuktu Triangle, a notorious terrorist hideout.
“The precision airstrikes, conducted over the weekend, resulted in the neutralization of multiple terrorists and the destruction of 3 gun trucks, significantly disrupting terrorists’ activities in the region,” Group Captain Ali stated.
The operation was initiated following actionable intelligence from ground troops, which tracked three terrorist gun trucks moving from Sabon Gari toward Chiralia.
