Again, NAF Airstrikes Cripple Terrorist Camp in Borno, Several Fighters Neutralised
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has recorded another major success in the fight against terrorism after precision airstrikes destroyed a terrorist enclave and neutralised several fighters in Borno State.
The operation, carried out on Friday by the Air Component of Operation HADIN KAI, targeted a terrorist hideout at Yaganari in the Gezuwa general area following credible intelligence on renewed insurgent activities in the location.
According to the NAF, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions confirmed the presence of terrorist structures and logistics hubs before the targets were engaged in a series of precision airstrikes.
The Service said the strikes destroyed the terrorists’ infrastructure, crippled their logistics base and neutralised several fighters.
