Air Task Force of “Operation LAFIYA DOLE” has destroyed terrorists’ hideout and neutralised several terrorists at the ‘S’ Region in the heart of the Sambisa Forest in Borno State.
Confirming the report, Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Defence Headquarters, Major General John Enenche, said the air strike, which was executed employing a force package of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets, was carried out after a series of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions revealed that the terrorists responsible for recent attacks in the Southern part of Borno and Northern part of Adamawa State had originated from the location.
He added that the NAF attack aircraft engaged the target area in successive passes, leading to the destruction of some of their structures and logistics stores, including a suspected anti-aircraft gun station as the terrorists fired at the NAF aircraft.
Enenche said several insurgents were also neutralised in the process.
