NAF Strikes Terrorist Positions In Borno State

By Micheal Chukwuebuka

In a sustained demonstration of the Nigerian air force’s commitment to counter-terrorism and the protection of innocent lives, the air component of operation Hadin Kai in ongoing operations successfully executed precision follow-up mop-up air strikes on identified terrorist locations within the Jilli axis of borno state.

Director of public relations and information, air commodore Ehimen Ejodame indicates that the mission was conducted as part of a coordinated air-ground integration operation with the Nigerian army, following an earlier successful engagement that effectively eliminated terrorist positions in the area.

Coming amid intensified efforts to track and eliminate terrorist elements responsible for recent attacks on security forces within the wider theatre, the follow-on strikes were aimed at fleeing remnants and re-grouping cells seeking to exploit the difficult terrain.

The operation reflects the Nigerian Air Force’s unwavering resolve to maintain persistent surveillance, precision interdiction, and rapid response actions in support of national counter-terrorism objectives
