More than 25 terrorists have been killed in a coordinated night air operation at Bula in Yobe and Banki axis of Borno by the Nigerian Air Force.
Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, the NAF Director of Public Relations and Information made this disclosure released in Abuja on Saturday.
He noted that a force package of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets and strike aircraft tracked terrorist movements and identified multiple groups north of Banki.
“The strike aircraft engaged the terrorists in three successive precision strikes on their movement routes and assembly areas, effectively neutralising more than 25 fighters.
“Post-strike surveillance confirmed ground forces remained in defensive positions, with no further threats observed,” he said.
Edojame re-emphasized NAF’s decisive support to ground troops, denial of terrorist freedom of action, and unwavering commitment to securing Nigeria’s North-East.
