“The strikes, which were carried out under cover of darkness, were successful and devastating, as battle damage assessment corroborated by local sources revealed that over 37 Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists were neutralized, while several of them reportedly suffered varying degrees of injury.”
He added that in another development the aircraft retreated to base after the air interdiction, the combat aircrew located another set of four gun trucks about six kilometres South West of Bama.
According to him, “the aircrew immediately relayed the coordinates of the location of the gun trucks to troops of the land component at Bama, who promptly engaged the location with artillery fire bombardment, neutralizing the insurgents’ gun trucks
“The successful joint operations conducted by both the air and land components, with the support of other security agencies under Operation Hadin Kai has yet again underscored the importance of synergy and cooperation in the fight against terrorism and insurgency.”
The statement reiterated that the troops of Operation Hadin Kai remained resolute and unshaken in their effort to bring the insurgents to their knees.
