The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), said its Air Component of Operation FANSAN YAMMA (OPFY), conducted multiple coordinated missions across Kakihun, Oke-ode, Babanla and surrounding areas of Kwara State.

Reconnaissance and close air support operations were executed to deter threats, while hostile elements sighted east of Babanla were decisively engaged.

Concurrent surveillance flights also covered key settlements and military positions, gathering critical intelligence to support ground forces.

NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, in a statement, said,

“These missions reaffirm NAF’s commitment to protecting troops and civilians, maintaining air superiority, and sustaining pressure on hostile actors. All operations were completed successfully.

He assured Nigerians of NAF unwavering resolve to defend the nation’s territorial integrity and safeguard communities against threats, just as he called on the public to remain confident, vigilant, and supportive of the Armed Forces as decisive actions continue to restore lasting peace and security across the country.
