The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) said its Air Component under the Joint Task Force North-East of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) has bombarded a terrorist stronghold west of Zuwa in the Sambisa general area of Borno State, killing fifteen terrorists.

The bombardment, according to NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, in a statement, said, “Acting on credible intelligence and confirmatory surveillance, the mission targeted hideouts harbouring fighters and commanders responsible for recent hostilities around Bitta.”

He said the strikes proved devastating, neutralising over 15 terrorists and demolishing key structures critical to their operations.

This latest success underscores the NAF’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding the lives and property of Nigerians while supporting ground troops in joint operations to dismantle terrorist networks. The Nigerian Air Force continues to stand as a symbol of vigilance, professionalism, and decisive airpower in defence of national security. Every successful strike brings Nigeria one step closer to lasting peace.
