SECURITY PERSONNELS NEUTRALIZES SCORES OF ISWAP/BOKO HARAM ,REPEL ATTACKS IN BORNO
By Tejiri Oghene After attacks on military installations in Buratai (Biu Local Government Area) and Mallam Fatori (Abadam LGA) were thwarted, the Nigerian Army stated that forces had neutralized a large number of terrorists connected to Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP). The attack on Buratai began early Thursday morning when terrorists tried to enter the town from several different angles, according to military sources. Nonetheless, vigilant soldiers retaliated with intense fire, aided by Operation Hadin Kai's Air Component's precision airstrikes. The army said that mop up efforts were still taking on in the region and that "troops uncovered many deceased bodies of terrorists and recovered a substantial cache of varied weaponry and ammunition." A coordinated attack on Mallam Fatori was launched by another set of terrorists at the same time, but they were similarly thwarted by superior firepower from ground forces and air assistance. Unable to continue the firefight, the rebels reportedly ran away in confusion, with many of them being shot during the chase.

Numerous AK-47 weapons, General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMGs), Rocket-Propelled Grenade (RPG) launchers, and other combat gear were found among the terrorists who were defeated, according to preliminary results from both sites. As forces use the surrounding territories to track down the remaining terrorists, the Nigerian Army's Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Command and other aerial surveillance units continue to help the effort. The military stressed that these operations' success shows how determined Operation Hadin Kai is to keep terrorists from having any freedom of movement in the Northeast. “These synchronized actions demonstrate our determination to eradicate terrorist threats and secure all communities under our watch,” the statement said.
