The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has eliminated several terrorists and destroyed their logistics and command centers in Borno State.
A statement by the NAF Spokesman, Air Cdre Ehimen Ejodame, said the Nigerian Air Force under Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), on July 6, 2025, launched precision airstrikes against key terrorist strongholds nestled in the Mandara Mountains, located in the North-Eastern State.
He said the high-profile targets, Wa Jahode and Loghpere, had long served as fortified enclaves for the Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad (JAS) faction of Boko Haram terrorists.
“The locations, known for their rugged, mountain-covered terrain along Nigeria’s border with Cameroon, had recently witnessed increased terrorist activity, including reports of a logistics build-up and the presence of senior JAS Commanders,” the NAF spokesman stated.
According to the statement, the strikes followed confirmatory Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance missions revealing clusters of structures fitted with solar panels, black flags, and fortified compounds, clear signs of insurgent resurgence and preparations for coordinated attacks.
“In response, NAF strike aircraft executed a series of well-coordinated air interdictions, targeting and destroying high-value terrorist infrastructure including logistics warehouses, command centres, and defensive shelters.
“Several terrorists were neutralised in the operation, effectively disrupting their supply chain and diminishing their capability to sustain further offensives,” he said.
He reassured that the Nigerian Air Force remains resolute to sustain ongoing onslaught against terrorists and restore lasting peace to all troubled regions across the country.
