Soldiers from Operation HADIN KAI, working with the National Security Adviser's Tactical Team, have k!lled more than 21 Boko Haram and ISWAP t3rrorists during a major offensive in Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
The joint force included the ONSA Tactical Team and newly deployed troops from 226 Battalion in Sector 4.
The operation took place on Thursday, August 27 in the Kopre Mountain area, following intelligence reports about t3rrorist activity in the region.
The troops moved stealthily through the difficult terrain before launching a precision att@ck on the t3rrorists' camp in the early morning hours.
The soldiers engaged the t3rrorists in two separate battles, resulting in the d£ath of more than 21 t3rrorists. Several others escaped with gunshot injuries.
After the operation, the troops took control of the area, destroyed the t3rrorist camp and dismantled its supply infrastructure.
This has weakened the group's ability to operate in that location.

The soldiers also destroyed several motorcycles, bicycles and containers of fuel that the t3rrorists had been using for logistics and movement.
Troops recovered several AK-47 rifles, magazines and large quantities of ammunition from the site.
The operation was part of ongoing efforts to find and rescue people being held by t3rrorists, including persons ab@ducted from Mussa community in May and schoolchildren ab@ducted from Lassa in June 2026.
Military officials said the successful operation showed the joint forces can work effectively in difficult terrain while disrupting t3rrorist bases and limiting their ability to move around.
They praised the troops and tactical team for their bravery, professionalism and teamwork.
The military assured residents that Operation HADIN KAI will continue intelligence-driven operations across the North-East to locate and rescue ab@ducted persons and restore peace and security in the region.
