Air strikes by Nigerian Air Force aircraft under Operation HADIN KAI have decimated several terrorists and their hideouts in the Tumbuns near Lake Chad.
A statement from the NAF noted that these particular strikes, conducted at a location Northwest of Arina Woje in the Tumbuns on 24 March 24, became necessary after intelligence revealed 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.“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.
