Troops of the Nigerian Army’s 21 Armored Brigade under Operation Hadin Kai have raided an enclave of the Islamic State of the West African Province (ISWAP) in Dalari, Borno State, neutralizing four terrorists and recovering arms and explosives.
Military sources told our correspondent on Saturday that the operation was carried out in the early hours of March 15 by the 151 Task Force Battalion in collaboration with the Civilian Joint Task Force and Hybrid Forces.
The troops, operating under Operation Desert Sanity 4, engaged the insurgents in a fierce gun battle at about 7:10 a.m., leading to the killing of four terrorists while several others escaped with gunshot wounds.
The operation led to the recovery of a significant cache of weapons, ammunition, and explosive devices.
The Nigerian Army has intensified counter-insurgency operations in the North-East as part of ongoing efforts to eliminate terrorism and restore peace in the region.
