Wednesday, May 27, 2026 - The Nigerian Air Force has intensified its counter-terrorism operations in Borno State following fresh air strikes targeting terrorist hideouts within the Sambisa Forest axis.
The development was disclosed in a press statement posted on
the official page of the Nigerian Air Force on May 26, 2026.
According to the statement, air assets under the Air
Component of Operation HADIN KAI carried out precision strikes on identified
terrorist camps and logistics structures at Biramiri in the Gezuwa area of
Borno State after receiving Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance
reports.
The Nigerian Air Force stated that the operation destroyed
key facilities used by the insurgents while several fighters were reportedly
neutralised during the coordinated attacks.
The statement further noted that the sustained air
offensives have disrupted the activities of terrorist elements operating within
the Sambisa axis, limiting their movement and access to safe locations.
The military added that the operation forms part of ongoing
efforts by Operation HADIN KAI and other security agencies to maintain pressure
on terrorist networks across the North-East region.
“The coordinated attacks destroyed key terrorist facilities
and neutralised several fighters, further crippling the operational capacity of
the insurgents,” the statement read.
