The air component Operation Hadarin Daji and the 17 Brigade of the Nigerian Army have killed several terrorists during ground and air bombardments in Katsina state.

Gabkwet said the location was first struck by NAF aircraft, after which the ground troops successfully mopped up fleeing terrorists.
He said: “Footages from the Battle Damage Assessment as well as feedback received from other sources revealed that the air strikes significantly degraded the capabilities of the terrorists which then facilitated a hitch-free clearance operation by troops of 17 Brigade of the Nigerian Army.
“The joint operation did not only result in the neutralisation of several terrorists and destruction of their hideouts on the hill but also offered the ground troops the opportunity to ascend and clear Tsora Hill, which had hitherto served as a hiding place for terrorists in Safana local government area.”
