…the coordinated air assault a substantial milestone in efforts to degrade operational capacity of terrorists – Nigerian Air Force
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has recorded a major operational success against Boko Haram terrorists in Borno State, iNews Times reports.
In a precision airstrike carried out in the early hours of Friday, NAF combat aircraft neutralized scores of insurgents in Bita, a known insurgent enclave in the North-East.
According to the Director of Public Relations and Information at the NAF Headquarters, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, the coordinated air assault marks a substantial milestone in efforts to degrade the operational capacity of terrorists threatening national security in the region.
The airstrike, executed under the cover of darkness, represents a major leap in ongoing efforts to dismantle the operational capabilities of terrorist elements undermining national security in the North East.
The iNews Times gathered that ground forces have since commenced clearance and exploitation operations to consolidate on the gains achieved from the successful air strikes.
NAF has reassured Nigerians of its unwavering commitment to defending the nation’s territorial integrity and protecting law-abiding citizens.
“All necessary measures are being taken to ensure that terrorist elements have no safe haven anywhere within the country,” NAF said.
This decisive blow against Boko Haram is a significant development in the ongoing efforts to combat terrorism in the region.
The Air Force’s continued commitment to protecting the nation and its citizens is evident in its relentless pursuit of terrorist elements.
