The Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai has successfully conducted a series of air strikes against Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists in Malam Fatori, Borno State, on December 15, 2024, killing several insurgents and destroying critical assets.
Intelligence sources revealed that a large gathering of ISWAP militants had been detected in the area. Reconnaissance operations identified multiple vehicles and motorcycles used by the terrorists for movement and logistics support.
In a coordinated response, military aircraft were deployed to engage the targets with precision strikes. According to reliable sources, the strikes destroyed several vehicles and motorcycles, dealing a significant blow to the terrorists’ logistics and operational capability.
Eyewitnesses in the area reported loud explosions and thick plumes of smoke billowing from the targeted locations, while impeccable sources confirmed that dozens of ISWAP fighters were neutralised during the operation.
The strikes form part of Operation Hadin Kai’s broader strategy to combat insurgency and restore peace in the northeast. Military ground forces, supported by aerial superiority, have continued to engage ISWAP elements, ensuring sustained pressure on the group’s strongholds.
The Nigerian military remains committed to eliminating the threats posed by terrorist groups and ensuring the safety and security of the region.
