Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has conducted airstrikes on a major terrorist’s enclave in Bukar Meram, on the southern flank of the Lake Chad region, Borno.

The operation, carried out by the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK), resulted in the destruction of key logistics infrastructure and the neutralization of several terrorists.

According to Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director, Public Relations and Information, NAF, the operation was conducted following credible intelligence on the plan by terrorists to attack Marte and Monguno communities.

“Battle Damage Assessment confirmed that the strike effectively disrupted imminent threats posed to the communities of Marte and Monguno,” Ejodame said.

Ejodame emphasized the NAF’s commitment to protecting the nation’s sovereignty and ensuring lasting peace and security.

“The NAF remains resolute in its mandate to protect the sovereignty of the nation and ensure lasting peace and security across the Northeast and beyond,” he said.

The airstrikes demonstrate the NAF’s proactive posture in safeguarding civilian populations and critical territories.
