Tuesday, April 28, 2026 - The Nigerian Air Force says it has carried out a coordinated air strike targeting terrorist positions in Guduf, located in the Mandara Mountains, as part of ongoing counter-terrorism operations under Operation HADIN KAI.
The Mandara Mountains, where the strike took place, are
located along the northeastern border of Nigeria and Cameroon, primarily within
Adamawa State and extending into Borno State.
According to a statement released on Tuesday, signed by Air
Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information at NAF
Headquarters, the operation was conducted on 27 April 2026 following credible
intelligence and confirmatory Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance
reports.
Ejodame said NAF air assets “executed a coordinated
operation that identified multiple terrorist structures and logistics hubs
actively supporting insurgent activities within the area,” adding that the
mission was carried out with precision and in line with established rules of
engagement.
He stated that the Air Component of Operation HADIN KAI
deployed precision targeting to engage and neutralise hostile elements and
their infrastructure, while ensuring “due regard for the protection of
civilians and the surrounding environment.”
The Air Force said the strike destroyed key terrorist
structures and logistics hubs in the enclave, which it described as a known
hideout in the Mandara Mountains, thereby degrading the operational capacity of
the affected insurgent network.
NAF added that the operation reflects its continued efforts
to deny terrorist groups freedom of action and strengthen ongoing security
operations aimed at safeguarding national security.
