NAF Airstrike Destroys Terrorist Structures in Mandara

On April 27, 2026, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) executed a successful airstrike against terrorist structures located in the Mandara Mountains, specifically in Guduf. This operation was part of the ongoing counter-terrorism efforts, designated "Operation Hadin Kai." The airstrike was prompted by credible intelligence that identified a major hub of insurgent activity in the area.

Subsequent intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance missions confirmed the presence of multiple terrorist structures and logistical facilities. Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodam, the Director of Public Relations and Information at NAF Headquarters, confirmed the operation's execution, emphasizing that it adhered strictly to the rules of engagement to minimize civilian casualties and environmental impact.

The airstrike led to the destruction of key terrorist infrastructure, significantly degrading their operational capabilities and reaffirming the commitment of the Nigerian Air Force to deny terrorists the freedom to act and safeguard national security.
