The Nigerian Air Force, under Operation Hadin Kai, has launched precision airstrikes in Bita, Borno State, killing scores of fleeing terrorists in one of the operation’s most significant successes in recent months.
According to Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information, the coordinated night-time airstrikes were a major step forward in dismantling the operational strength of insurgents threatening security in the North-East.
The strikes targeted terrorist hideouts and movement routes, dealing a major blow to the group’s ability to regroup or launch attacks.
Following the strikes, ground troops began clearance and exploitation missions to build on the success of the aerial assault and secure the affected areas.
The Air Force reaffirmed its commitment to protecting Nigeria’s territorial integrity and ensuring the safety of law-abiding citizens across the country.
Authorities assured the public that there will be no safe haven for terrorists, as joint military operations continue to intensify across insurgency-affected regions.
