The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) said that it recorded another major success in the on-going counter-insurgency and counter terrorism operations against the Boko Haram Terrorist (BHT) sect in the North East.
The current phase of intensified air operations over Northern Borno paid-off on August 19 when the NAF, during an air attack, killed about 300 Boko Haram Terrorits who had gathered to hold a meeting at a location between Malam Fatori and own troops location at Kangarwa.
“Prior to this, the NAF,on 16 August 2016, had commenced series of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions to corroborate human intelligence that key BHT commanders gather at the said location to hold meeting at night.
The objective of the on-going operation, as usual, is to degrade the capability of the insurgents, particularly those who have fled to the northern part of Borno.
