Nigerian Airforce says its aircraft under operation hadin kai have conducted strikes at a location Northwest of Arina woje in the Tumbuns, Borno State.
In a statement by Director of Public Relations and Information of the force, Air Vice Marshal Edward Gabkwet says intelligence revealed the presence of terrorists’ hideouts at the location, and an activation of terrorists’ activities around clusters of structures concealed under trees near the location.
The statement explains that after the strikes, a post-strike battle damage assessment revealed that several terrorists were neutralised and their hideouts set ablaze, thereby degrading their capabilities to attack surface forces.
It emphasized that the strikes have also degraded the capabilities of terrorist elements operating in the region to attack innocent civilians residing near Arina woje.
