The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has intensified its offensive against terrorists in Borno State, carrying out fresh air strikes on their hideouts in the Jilli axis.
The operation, conducted on April 11 under Operation HADIN KAI, focused on mopping up fleeing insurgents and disrupting attempts by remnants to regroup after earlier bombardments.
In a statement on Sunday, NAF spokesman, Ehimen Ejodame, said the strikes were executed based on credible intelligence and in close coordination with ground troops of the Nigerian Army.
He noted that the operation forms part of ongoing efforts to neutralise terrorists responsible for recent attacks on security formations in the North-East.
According to him, the sustained air offensives have significantly degraded terrorist capabilities while restricting their movement across the theatre.
Ejodame stressed that the Air Force would continue to deploy precision strikes and surveillance operations to protect civilian populations and support ground forces.
