Nigerian Air Force jets have carried out precision strikes on terrorist hideouts in Borno, destroying key structures and tightening pressure on insurgents operating in the region.
The mission focused on the Southern Tumbuns area, where intelligence reports indicated increased militant activity.
NAF spokesman, Ehimen Ejodame, said the operation followed detailed surveillance that identified movement of suspected fighters within concealed locations.
He stated that the air force tracked the insurgents to hidden structures before launching coordinated strikes.
The attack successfully destroyed the targeted hideouts, disrupting the group’s ability to operate effectively in the area.
Ejodame noted that the action reflects the military’s ongoing strategy of using intelligence and precision targeting to weaken terrorist networks.
He said the aim is to eliminate safe havens and limit the mobility of insurgents across affected regions.
The Chief of the Air Staff, Sunday Aneke, assured that operations will continue as part of broader efforts to secure the country.
He emphasised that the military remains focused on protecting lives and maintaining stability.
The development comes amid continued security operations across the northeast aimed at restoring peace.
Observers say sustained military pressure is key to reducing insurgent threats in the region.
Authorities have reiterated their commitment to intensifying operations until lasting security is achieved.
