The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has carried out a major air operation in Sambisa Forest, bombing a terrorist enclave and killing several fighters while destroying their base.
The air strikes followed the recent ambush in which terrorists killed two soldiers and two members of the Civilian JTF along the Damboa axis in Borno State.
NAF’s spokesperson, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, disclosed the operation in a statement issued on Wednesday night.
He explained that the air raids were conducted on Tuesday in the wider Sambisa area after a series of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, ISR, missions tracked the movement of terrorists linked to the 17 October attack on troops at KASHOMRI.
According to him, “Persistent ISR coverage over KASHOMRI and Sambisa revealed suspicious activities and active terrorist structures at ARRA, prompting a deliberate, intelligence-driven strike.
“NAF air assets acquired and engaged designated objectives through coordinated, successive passes.
“The strike achieved its intended effect with the destruction of all identified targets, significantly degrading the terrorists’ operational capabilities and disrupting their command and logistics networks,” the NAF spokesperson added.
