- Air Force targets insurgent enclave in Southern Tumbuns with precision strike
- Several terrorist structures destroyed in Ali Sheriffti operation
- NAF says offensive will intensify to eliminate remaining safe havens
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has carried out successful airstrikes that destroyed terrorist hideouts in the Southern Tumbuns area of Borno State, in a renewed effort to weaken insurgent operations in the North-East.
According to a statement by the Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, the operation was conducted on Friday evening over Ali Sheriffti, a known terrorist enclave, following credible intelligence on insurgent movements.
The Air Force said its surveillance aircraft tracked suspicious activity before identifying concealed structures used by terrorists within dense vegetation.
“Following positive identification, the NAF executed a precise strike, engaging the structures with onboard munitions,” the statement said.
It added that the operation achieved its objective, destroying terrorist facilities and further limiting their mobility and operational capacity in the area.
The Air Force described the mission as part of sustained intelligence-led operations aimed at denying terrorists safe havens across the country.
Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke, reaffirmed the Force’s commitment to maintaining pressure on insurgent networks.
“The Nigerian Air Force will continue to pursue and dismantle terrorist networks with unwavering precision and relentless force, ensuring no enclave remains beyond our reach,” he said.
The military says air and ground operations will continue with increased intensity as part of ongoing counter-terrorism efforts in the North-East.
