The Nigerian Air Force has carried out a successful airstrike on a major stronghold of the Islamic State West Africa Province in Borno State, killing scores of terrorists and destroying critical infrastructure.
According to military sources, the operation targeted a fortified enclave used by the insurgents for coordination and logistics. The precision airstrike, executed after credible intelligence and surveillance, resulted in significant casualties among the fighters and dealt a heavy blow to their operational capacity.
The strike also reportedly destroyed weapons storage facilities, hideouts, and other key assets belonging to the group, further weakening its presence in the region.
Security officials noted that the operation is part of ongoing efforts by the Nigerian military to dismantle terrorist networks and restore stability in the North-East.
The Nigerian Air Force reaffirmed its commitment to sustaining aggressive air operations aimed at eliminating insurgent threats and supporting ground troops in the fight against terrorism.
