NAF destr0ys IED factory, terrorists’ gun trucks in Tumbuktu Triangle
The Nigerian Air Force, NAF, operating under Operation HADIN KAI, OPHK, has destroyed an IED factory, terrorists’ gun trucks, and eliminated dozens of fighters in Kwaltiri, within the Tumbuktu Triangle, Borno State.
Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information, Headquarters, Nigerian Air Force, in a statement on Thursday, said the airstrike followed intelligence reports of terrorist activity in the area, adding that surveillance confirmed the presence of an IED-making site and vehicles, which were struck in precision passes by NAF aircraft.
According to the statement, the operation is a major blow to the terrorists’ fighting capabilities, as the successful strikes not only disrupted their command and control as well as logistics chains but also sent shockwaves through their ranks, significantly degrading their morale and operational momentum.
“It reinforces NAF’s resolve to degrade terrorist capabilities and enhance security in the North East,” the statement further added.
