NAF air assets reportedly executed the coordinated attacks on May 26, 2026, destroying key facilities used by the terrorists and neutralising several fighters in the process.
Military authorities said the operation forms part of ongoing efforts to degrade the operational capabilities of insurgent groups operating within the Sambisa Forest and surrounding areas.
“The coordinated attacks destroyed key terrorist facilities and neutralised several fighters, further crippling the operational capacity of the insurgents,” the statement said.
The latest airstrikes come amid renewed military offensives aimed at sustaining pressure on terrorist elements in the North-East and disrupting their logistics and operational networks.
