In a significant blow to insurgent activities, the Nigerian military executed a precise airstrike under Operation HADIN KAI, resulting in the elimination of numerous terrorists in Borno State. Security analyst Zagazola Makama shared details of the operation on his X platform on Sunday.
The mission, carried out on June 4, was based on credible intelligence and aerial surveillance that spotted suspicious movements in the Madamari area of Magumeri Local Government Area. An ISR platform detected around 15 terrorists who had left a gun truck and gathered under a tree.
After confirming hostile intent, the surveillance system guided a strike aircraft to the target. The aircraft delivered a precise attack on the assembly, neutralizing all individuals present, according to military sources.
In a follow-up action, the ISR platform tracked the terrorists’ gun truck and directed another targeted strike, destroying the vehicle and killing four additional militants. A post-mission assessment revealed that surviving terrorists fled in various directions, highlighting the operation’s disruptive impact.
