NAF Neutralises Terrorists, Destroys Gun Trucks in Borno Operation
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), on Wednesday, has delivered a decisive airstrike that neutralised several terrorists and destroyed gun trucks in Buratai, Borno State.
The operation, executed under the ongoing Operation HADIN KAI, followed credible intelligence reports indicating the movement of insurgents attempting to escape with four gun trucks laden with combat supplies.
In a statement released by Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information at the NAF Headquarters, surveillance platforms had been tracking the terrorists’ movement along a known logistics route when the air assets were deployed.

“NAF air assets swooped in, engaging the convoy with devastating accuracy,” the statement read. “The precision strike successfully neutralised several fighters and destroyed two of the four gun trucks, significantly disrupting the insurgents’ mobility and supply chain.”
The location of the strike—Buratai, a community in Biu Local Government Area—is strategically significant and has witnessed sporadic militant activity in recent months.
The swift action by the Air Force underscores the military’s intensified aerial campaign aimed at dismantling terrorist strongholds and preventing regrouping efforts.
While details on the identities of the neutralised fighters remain undisclosed, the Nigerian military has assured the public that efforts to secure the region continue unabated.
“This successful operation reaffirms the Nigerian Air Force’s commitment to eradicating terrorism and restoring lasting peace in the Northeast,” Air Commodore Ejodame stated, adding that further updates will be communicated as more intelligence is gathered from the area of operation.
