The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has said that the Air Component of Operation HADIN KAI conducted precise airstrikes in the Yuwe axis of the Sambisa Forest, resulting in the elimination of several terrorists on Monday.
This was disclosed on Tuesday in Abuja by Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information, NAF, who noted that the military continues to maintain sustained pressure on terrorist groups in the North-East.
He explained that the operation was based on credible intelligence, backed by Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), which confirmed the presence of active terrorist elements in fortified structures and bunkers.
He stated that NAF air assets engaged the targets with precision munitions, destroying the structures, neutralising multiple terrorists, and eliminating key logistics facilities, as confirmed by subsequent battle damage assessments.
He added that the sustained tempo of air operations continues to degrade terrorist networks, leaving them increasingly exposed and disrupted, with mounting pressure forcing them into desperate and reactive actions.
The statement also quoted the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke, as reaffirming the NAF’s resolve to sustain relentless, intelligence-driven air operations until terrorist elements are completely neutralised.
He stated that the NAF remains committed to the protection of its personnel, the security of the nation, and the safety of all citizens.
He further noted that the NAF would continue to intensify precision engagements across the theatre, maintaining decisive operational pressure while adhering strictly to rules of engagement and minimising civilian harm.
