BREAKING: NAF Airstrikes Kill Scores of Terrorists, Destroy Hideout in Borno!

Reported by David Joshua | Sele media Africa

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has confirmed that scores of terrorists have been neutralized and a key terrorist hideout destroyed in Borno State following precision airstrikes carried out by the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai.In an official statement released on Wednesday, the NAF revealed that the air interdiction missions targeted a major terrorist enclave located in a remote axis of Borno State, which had been identified as a key operational base for insurgent activities in the region.According to military sources, credible intelligence had earlier indicated the movement and gathering of high-profile terrorist elements within the area. The aircrafts were swiftly deployed, unleashing sustained firepower that resulted in the decimation of the camp and the elimination of dozens of fighters.The operation is part of ongoing counterterrorism efforts aimed at dismantling the operational capabilities of terrorist factions, particularly Boko Haram and ISWAP, who have continued to pose security threats in the Northeast.NAF’s Statement Reads:_”These precision airstrikes were executed based on credible intelligence and careful surveillance, and they resulted in heavy casualties among the terrorists. The destruction of this hideout further weakens their ability to carry out attacks on innocent civilians and military personnel.”_Why It Matters: This successful strike is a significant boost to Nigeria’s war against terrorism and comes at a time when the military is intensifying its operations to ensure peace and stability across affected regions.Selemedia Africa understands that ground troops have also been deployed to sweep the area for remnants and gather intelligence to prevent regrouping.Moral Takeaway: Victory in the fight against terror is possible when intelligence, strategy, and swift action are combined. The Nigerian military continues to make progress—one successful operation at a time.
