As troops of the Nigerian military continue its onslaught against Boko Haram terrorists, the Nigerian Air Force jets have killed some of the terrorists leaders and fighter during separate air strikes at abode in the Sambisa forest and settlement 1.7km East of Yale in Borno state.
The air interdiction was executed under a subsidiary operation code names WUTAR TABKI 2, according to Coordinator Defence Media Operations , Maj. Gen. John Enenche in a statement Tuesday.
He said the air strikes were undertaken yesterday, 30 November 2020, “after credible Human Intelligence reports and series of aerial surveillance missions had indicated that some of the Boko Haram terrorists that carried out recent attacks against innocent civilians were harboured in makeshift structures under the dense vegetation of the Sambisa Forest while others were tracked to the settlement East of Yale.”
“Accordingly, the Air Task Force dispatched Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets and helicopter gunships to attack the two locations,” Enenche said.
” The attack aircraft, while taking turns to engage the targets, delivered lethal bomb and rocket strikes, resulting in the destruction of some of the structures as well as the killing of several terrorists.”
