Nigerian Air Force Strikes Terrorist Enclaves in Borno

On April 27, 2026, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) executed airstrikes against terrorist enclaves located in the Mandara Mountain region of Borno. This operation was based on credible intelligence gathered from surveillance missions that confirmed the presence of active structures serving as logistical points for insurgent movements.

NAF spokesman Ehimen Ejodam stated that the airstrikes aimed to dismantle operational bases used by the insurgents and neutralize hostile elements. The targeted locations included facilities believed to support planned attacks, significantly weakening the operational capacity of the insurgent group.

The NAF emphasized its commitment to conducting these missions while adhering to strict rules of engagement to ensure civilian safety. This strike is part of the ongoing operation "Hadarin Kai," which aims to maintain pressure on insurgent groups and restrict their movements across the region.
