Troops Rescue 360 Kidnap Victims from Boko Haram Enclave

In a major military operation in Borno State, Nigerian troops successfully rescued 360 kidnap victims from a Boko Haram enclave located in the Mandara Mountain region. The operation, described as a significant breakthrough against insurgency in Nigeria's northeast, involved the troops of Operation Hadin Kai.

The rescued individuals included men, women, and children who had been held captive by a faction of Boko Haram, which had abducted them from several communities, particularly within the Ngosh Axi area. This operation follows a week of intelligence gathering and covert surveillance, culminating in a coordinated action by special forces.

The military authorities have characterized this mission as one of the most significant hostage rescue efforts in recent years.
