Nigerian Air Force (NAF) jets have conducted airstrikes in the Tumbuns area of the Lake Chad Basin, killing terrorists and destroying a food storage facility.

NAF spokesman Air Commodore Olusola Akinboyewa announced the operation’s success in a statement on Monday, saying it was conducted on November 23 after detailed Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions.

“This strategic location, identified through meticulous intelligence efforts, served as a critical food storage site and a sanctuary for terrorist commanders and fighters,” Akinboyewa said.

He noted that intelligence linked the site to recent attacks, including a November 16 assault on troops in Kareto. The strikes, he said, disrupted the terrorists’ logistical operations and reduced their ability to stage future attacks.

“Mop-up operations using cannons ensured the complete elimination of fleeing hostile elements,” Akinboyewa added.
