The Nigerian Air Force, under the Joint Task Force of Operation Hadin Kai, conducted an intelligence-driven Air Interdiction mission against terrorist elements in the Yuwe general area of the Sambisa axis in Borno State. The early morning operation, according to the service, followed confirmatory Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance that identified structures used as terrorist commanders’ hideouts and logistics warehouses.
A statement released today by the NAF spokesman, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, said post-strike assessments, supported by intelligence sources, confirmed the neutralisation of several high-value operatives, including senior commanders and fighters coordinating activities within the theatre.
He said the strikes disrupted the terrorists’ command-and-control structure and degraded their logistics network, limiting their operational capacity in the area. Commenting on the operation, the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke, commended the professionalism and combat efficiency of the aircrew and supporting personnel.
