The Air Component of Operation HADIN KAI successfully executing precision follow-up mop-up air strikes on identified terrorist locations within the Jilli axis of Borno State.
The spokesperson of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, disclosed this on Sunday.
Ejodame said the mission was conducted on Saturday, April 11, as part of a “coordinated air-ground integration operation” with the Nigerian Army, following an earlier engagement that “effectively” decimated terrorist positions in the area.
He said the mission came amid intensified efforts to track and neutralise terrorist elements responsible for recent attacks on security forces within the North East frontlines.
The NAF’s spokesperson said the follow-on air strikes were specifically aimed at fleeing remnants and regrouping cells seeking to exploit the difficult terrain.
