NAF Airstrikes in Borno State Eliminate Terrorist Commanders

On June 10, 2026, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) executed airstrikes targeting terrorist enclaves in Borno State, a known stronghold of insurgents. The operation was part of the ongoing "Operation Hadin Kai" and was prompted by credible intelligence gathered through surveillance and reconnaissance missions.

Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodam, the NAF Director of Public Relations, confirmed that the airstrikes were conducted in the early hours and resulted in the neutralization of several senior terrorist commanders. This operation followed a recent ambush by terrorists that killed several soldiers in the region.

The aircrew observed significant terrorist movement around the targeted structures before executing the strikes, which led to the destruction of the terrorist hideouts. Chief of Air Staff Hasan Bala Abubakar commended the personnel involved and reaffirmed the NAF's commitment to maintaining pressure on terrorist groups across Nigeria, ensuring that there are no safe havens within the country's territory.
