The Defence Headquarters said the Air Task Force of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has destroyed a logistics base belonging to the Boko Haram Terrorists’ (BHTs’) logistics and killed several of their fighters at Yamud along the Gulumba Gana-Kumshe axis of Borno State.
Coordinator Defence Media Operations Major General John Enenche, who made this known, said the terrorists use the logistics base to store their weapons and assemble to launch attacks.
Enenche in a statement said that the facility was detected following credible intelligence on activities of the terrorists.
The statement reads; “The Air Task Force of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has destroyed a Boko Haram Terrorists’ (BHTs’) logistics storage facility and neutralized several of their fighters at Yamud along the Gulumba Gana-Kumshe axis of Borno State. The operation was executed yesterday, 11 August 2020, on the heels of credible intelligence reports indicating that the settlement was one of the locations where the terrorists store their logistics and assemble to launch attacks.
Series of follow-up aerial surveillance missions also showed significant number of terrorists within the settlement and also identified some compounds that were being used as storage facilities and meeting venues.
“Accordingly, the Air Task Force detailed its fighter jets to attack the location scoring accurate hits leading to the destruction of the designated target structures as well as the neutralization of several of the terrorists”.
