The Nigerian Air Force has said its counter-terrorism operations in Borno State successfully targeted terrorist hideouts and logistics facilities at Biramiri in the Gezuwa general area of the state.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Director of Public Relations and Information at the Headquarters Nigerian Air Force, Ehimen Ejodame, said the operation was carried out following credible Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance reports.
According to him, the coordinated precision airstrikes destroyed key terrorist infrastructure and neutralised several insurgents operating within the area.
“The coordinated attacks destroyed key terrorist facilities and neutralised several fighters, further crippling the operational capacity of the insurgents,” Ejodame stated.
He added that the sustained air offensives had continued to create fear and confusion among terrorist groups operating around the Sambisa axis.
According to the statement, intelligence assessments revealed increasing apprehension and disorientation within insurgent ranks as continuous bombardments restricted their movement and denied them safe havens.
“The NAF, in concert with troops of Operation Hadin Kai and other security agencies, remains resolute in maintaining relentless pressure on terrorist networks while reinforcing its commitment to protecting innocent lives and restoring lasting peace and security across the North-East,” the statement added.
