Troops Foil Terrorists Attack, Neutralize Dozens in Borno

In a decisive show of strength, Nigerian troops under Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, repelled a coordinated attack by Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) insurgents on their base in New Marte, Borno State.

The foiled assault was thwarted through a joint operation involving ground forces and the Air Component of OPHK. According to military sources, the terrorists attempted to infiltrate the troops’ defensive position under the cover of darkness, but were met with overwhelming firepower from alert soldiers.

The Air Component quickly deployed Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms and delivered precise offensive strikes on the retreating insurgents, leading to the decimation of several fighters. At least one Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) SUV and multiple motorcycles used by the terrorists were either abandoned or destroyed during the confrontation.

Tragically, two Nigerian soldiers lost their lives in the fierce encounter. However, troops remained resilient, conducting a thorough exploitation of the battlefield, where several corpses of the terrorists were discovered, along with blood trails indicating further casualties among the fleeing attackers.

In a separate but related incident, troops successfully repelled another attempted assault on the Forward Operating Base in Kumshe, further demonstrating OPHK’s heightened vigilance and combat readiness.

Captain Reuben Kovangiya, Acting Deputy Director of Army Public Relations for the Theatre Command, praised the synergy between ground and air components, noting that the operation exemplifies the renewed jointness and determination of security forces to eradicate terrorism and restore peace across the North East.

The military has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring a secure environment for socio-economic recovery in the region.
