The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has killed more than 25 terrorists in a coordinated night air operation in the Bula area of Yobe State and the Banki axis of Borno State.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja by the Director of Public Relations and Information, NAF, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame.
According to Ejodame, the operation was carried out on September 18 following credible intelligence from ground troops.
He explained that a coordinated force package, comprising Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets and strike aircraft, tracked terrorist movements and detected multiple clusters of fighters north of Banki.
He noted that real-time updates were relayed to ground troops and base operations, enabling a well-coordinated response.
