Thursday, July 10, 2025 - Troops under the 7 Division, Sector 1 of Operation Hadin Kai have dealt another blow to Boko Haram, storming their strongholds in Tangalanga and Bula Marwa, both in Borno State.
According to details obtained by Zagazola Makama from
military sources familiar with the mission, the operation was executed on
Sunday, July 7, following “credible intelligence reports indicating the
presence and activities of terrorist elements in the general area.”
The troops, acting swiftly on the information, first moved
into Tangalanga where they came under attack but quickly responded, killing two
insurgents during the engagement. The team didn’t stop there.
“After receiving intelligence on the massing up of
terrorists within the location,” the sources said, “the team proceeded towards
Bula Marwa.”
As soldiers approached the second target, Bula Marwa, the
insurgents reportedly fled into the surrounding terrain in a bid to escape.
However, their retreat was not entirely successful.
“One fleeing insurgent was neutralized during pursuit, while
several special structures within the camp were destroyed,” a source confirmed.
Despite the tense situation and armed confrontation, the
troops are said to have completed the mission without recording any casualties
on their side — a significant morale boost for the ongoing counterinsurgency
efforts in the region.
Recovered from the operation were key items, including aix
AK-47 magazines, 90 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, and a Boko Haram flag.
