NAF Airstrikes Neutralize Terrorists in Northern Tumbuns

On June 10, 2026, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) conducted precise airstrikes against a terrorist enclave in the Northern Tumbuns area, delivering a significant blow to terrorist elements operating in the Lake Chad Basin. According to a statement from the Director of Public Relations at NAF, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodam, the operation was based on credible intelligence gathered through intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions.

The aircrew observed substantial terrorist movements around the identified target, confirming the presence of hostile elements. Following the identification of the target, NAF aircraft executed precise strikes that resulted in devastating effects on the terrorist positions.

Post-strike battle damage assessments confirmed the destruction of the enclave and the neutralization of numerous terrorists. Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sundai Kelvin Anek, commended the personnel involved and reaffirmed NAF's commitment to maintaining relentless pressure on terrorist elements across the country, ensuring no safe haven exists within Nigeria's sovereign territory.
