The Nigerian Air Force has confirmed the killing of several terrorists and destruction of their logistics hub during a precision air interdiction operation in Borno State.
‎Newsbuka gathered that the operation was carried out on Sunday at Dabar Masara, a popular terrorist enclave in the Southern Tumbuns.
‎‎The operation is also part of ongoing efforts to disrupt terrorist activities and supply networks.
‎‎A statement by the Director of Public Relations and Information of the NAF, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, said the strikes followed credible intelligence indicating the presence of a terrorist workshop and sustained movement of armed fighters in the area.
‎According to him, the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai deployed an integrated force package to conduct co-ordinated intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions alongside strike operations.
‎‎Ejodame stated that surveillance had revealed repeated terrorist movement and a large number of vehicles concealed under vegetation, confirming the location as an active logistics base.
‎He said that following positive identification and in line with the rules of engagement, the targets were engaged, adding that a post-operation battle damage assessment confirmed that the vehicles were destroyed and several terrorist elements neutralised.
‎Ejodame informed that the operation highlights NAF’s commitment to intelligence-driven and precise air operations aimed at degrading terrorist networks and improving security in affected areas.
