Troops of the Nigerian Air Force attached with the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai, executed two air interdiction missions and bombed terrorists’ strongholds in Borno State’s Sambisa general area and the Southern Tumbuns.
Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, NAF’s spokesman told journalists in Abuja that the first strike occurred at approximately 5:30 a.m. in Kollaram, a known stronghold of insurgents.
“Intelligence reports, supported by surveillance footage, confirmed the presence of high-value terrorist commanders in the area.
“Several structures, some equipped with solar panels, were identified as active terrorist hubs. Nigerian Air Force assets carried out a precision strike on the location, eliminating several fighters and disabling key infrastructure.”
Air Commodore Ejodame added that the second precision strike followed at about 3:55pm in Arra, Sambisa adding that Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions had earlier detected clusters of terrorists, and real-time visuals confirmed the significant presence.
“Precision-guided munitions were employed, resulting in the effective destruction of targets and disruption of the group’s operational capabilities.
“These back-to-back missions are part of a sustained air campaign designed to erode terrorist capabilities, dismantle leadership structures, and eliminate sanctuaries across Nigeria.
“The Nigerian Air Force remains committed to ensuring that no location within the country offers safe haven to terrorists,” he said.
