Nigeria Air Force Airstrikes Destroy Terrorists’ IED Factory, Gun Trucks In Borno

The Nigerian Air Force, under Operation Hadin Kai, has successfully destroyed an explosives manufacturing facility, neutralized several terrorist gun trucks, and eliminated dozens of insurgents in Kwaltiri, located within the Tumbuktu Triangle region of Borno State.

This was contained in a statement by the Director, Public Relations and Information, NAF, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, on Thursday in Abuja.

Ejodame said the airstrikes executed on Wednesday followed intelligence reports of terrorist activity in the area.

He said that the surveillance confirmed the presence of an IED-making site and vehicles, which were struck in precision passes by NAF aircraft.

According to him, the operation is a major blow to terrorists’ fighting capabilities, as the successful strikes not only disrupted their command and control as well as logistics chains but also sent shockwaves through their ranks, significantly degrading their morale and operational momentum.

“It reinforces NAF’s resolve to degrade terrorist capabilities and enhance security in the North East,” he said.
