NAF airstrikes neutralise scores of terrorists near Lake Chad

Air strikes by Nigerian Air Force (NAF) aircraft carrying out Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) have annihilated many terrorists and their hideouts in the Tumbuns near Lake Chad.

According to a statement from the NAF, these specific attacks, performed at a position northwest of Arina Woje in the Tumbuns on March 24, became essential after intelligence showed the presence of terrorist hideouts at the location.

“Intelligence had also confirmed an activation of terrorists’ activities around clusters of structures concealed under trees near the location,” the statement signed by NAF spokesman, Air Vice Marshal Edward Gabkwet revealed.

“The need to attack the location thus became imperative.

“After the strikes, a post-strike Battle Damage Assessment revealed several terrorists were neutralized and their hideouts set ablaze, thereby degrading their capabilities to attack surface forces.

“These strikes have also degraded the capabilities of terrorist elements operating in the region to attack innocent civilians residing near Arina Woje in Borno State,” the statement added.
