Airstrikes reportedly kill 38 suspected terrorists in Borno

Intelligence-led strikes hit separate terrorist تجمعs after surveillance detected their movements, with analysts saying the raids could disrupt command and control.

  • Operation Hadin Kai conducted multiple precision airstrikes across Borno State, reportedly killing about 38 suspected terrorists following intelligence missions that detected insurgent movements in separate locations.
  • Troops of Operation Hadin Kai are intensifying efforts against terrorist networks throughout the North-East, targeting leadership, logistics, and fighting formations to disrupt insurgent operations.
  • Security analyst Zagazola Makama reported the first operation occurred near Aduwa on Friday at 10:23 pm, while a separate strike near Buratai at 12:31 am Saturday neutralized about 12 suspected terrorists.
  • Combined operations accounted for approximately 26 terrorists, with one strike killing approximately 16 fighters and a follow-up neutralizing about 10 others; Makama noted the strikes disrupted terrorist command structures.
  • Terrorists are increasingly abandoning large gatherings to adopt smaller, concealed movements, a shift Makama linked to a reported increase of more than 250 per cent in terrorist surrenders over the past month.
