The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has disclosed that its aircraft attached to Operation Hadin Kai on Thursday destroyed terrorists’ gun trucks and killed several fighters in Borno State.
NAF’s Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Cdre Ehimen Ejodame, in a statement, said the airstrikes were carried out following terrorists attack on a military location in Buratai town in Borno State.
He said the terrorists were fleeing in four gun trucks in the early hours of 5 June, 2025, following failed attacks on the Nigerian troops.
“Acting on credible intelligence, NAF surveillance assets tracked insurgents attempting to flee with four gun trucks. As the terrorists regrouped along an active route, NAF air assets swooped in, engaging the convoy with devastating accuracy, neutralising several fighters and destroying two gun trucks loaded with supplies,” Ejodame said.
He assured that further details on the operation will be communicated as they become available.
