Nigerian Military Eliminates Over 40 ISWAP Fighters in Borno
The Nigerian military executed an air strike in Borno State, resulting in the deaths of more than 40 Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters, including a senior commander. This operation occurred over the weekend in Badu Village, south of Gudumbali, within the Guzamala Local Government Area.
The military acted on intelligence reports indicating that ISWAP fighters were assembling to launch coordinated attacks on troops under Sector 3 of Operation Hadin Kai. Captain Mohammed Goni, the Military Information Officer at the Headquarters of the Joint Task Force, North East, confirmed the operation in a statement issued in Maiduguri on Monday.
The air strike targeted a building occupied by the terrorists, leading to the destruction of two vehicles and approximately 20 motorcycles used for logistics and attacks. The military stated that this operation significantly weakened ISWAP's fighting capacity and disrupted their planned assaults on military positions and local communities.
Further assessments are ongoing to evaluate the full impact of the operation.
