The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) says the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) has destroyed a major terrorist enclave used as a training ground in Bukar Meram on the southern flank of the Lake Chad region, Borno.
Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information, NAF, said this in a statement on Monday in Abuja.
Ejodame said the operation was conducted on Monday, following credible intelligence on the plan by the terrorists to attack Marte and Monguno communities.
According to him, the airstrikes resulted in the neutralisation of several terrorists as well as the destruction of key logistics infrastructure, including supply vehicles, weapons storage sites, and makeshift shelters.
“Battle Damage Assessment confirmed that the strike effectively disrupted imminent threats posed to the communities of Marte and Monguno, reinforcing NAF’s proactive posture in safeguarding civilian populations and critical territories.
“The NAF remains resolute in its mandate to protect the nation’s sovereignty and ensure lasting peace and security across the Northeast and beyond,” he said.
