The coordinated missions, executed on November 9, 2025, mark a significant escalation in the fight against terrorism and banditry in Nigeria.
NAF air interdiction missions dealt a heavy blow to ISWAP terrorists entrenched in the Northern Tumbuns.
Guided by real-time Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) feeds, air assets conducted precision strikes southeast of Shuwaram and Mallam Fatori, destroying insurgent hideouts, logistics hubs, and weapons storage facilities.
The strikes eliminated several terrorists and crippled their mobility capabilities.
NAF aircraft carried out precision air interdiction missions over Garin Dandi and Chigogo in Kwara State, striking bandit camps with devastating accuracy based on credible intelligence.
The attacks caused panic and inflicted heavy losses among the criminals.
Air assets under Operation FANSAN YAMMA struck Zango Hill in Kankara LGA, Katsina State, the hideout of a terrorist kingpin and his fighters.
Guided by actionable intelligence and ISR surveillance, multiple attack passes were executed, destroying key logistics hubs and neutralizing several terrorists.
The Air Component of Operation FANSAN YAMMA (Sector 1) conducted an Armed Reconnaissance mission across the northwest corridor, covering key settlements in Zamfara, Kebbi, and Kaduna States.
During the mission, coordination with Forward Operating Bases revealed suspicious movement near Wam Hill, where terrorists on motorcycles were spotted attempting to flee. The aircrew swiftly engaged and neutralized the targets.
The success of these precision operations underscores the NAF’s renewed tempo following the directives of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke.
Each mission reaffirms the NAF’s resolve to project smarter and intelligence-driven airpower to protect the lives and properties of citizens and enhance national security.
The NAF’s efforts demonstrate its commitment to combating terrorism and banditry in Nigeria.
With continued precision strikes and intelligence-driven operations, the NAF is determined to degrade terrorist and criminal networks across the country.
