The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has successfully carried out airstrikes on a terrorist enclave in the Lake Chad Basin, killing several insurgents and destroying their food depot. The operation, which took place on November 23, was carried out by the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai, and was facilitated by extensive intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions.
The NAF aircraft targeted a strategic location identified as a critical food storage site and a sanctuary for terrorist commanders and fighters. The airstrikes destroyed identified structures used as storage facilities and neutralized terrorists on-site. Mop-up operations using cannons ensured the complete elimination of fleeing hostile elements.
The success of the operation has severely disrupted the terrorists’ logistical operations, while the neutralization of a significant number of fighters has diminished their capacity to launch future attacks. The NAF has reiterated its resolve to sustain robust independent and joint operations until all enemies of Nigeria’s prosperity and well-being are brought to justice.
