The intensification of attacks on terrorist locations by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), under Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), has destroyed an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) factory, gun trucks and eliminated dozens of fighters in Kwaltiri, within the Tumbuktu Triangle, Borno State.
The airstrike on Wednesday, 18th June 2025, according to Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information (DOPRI), Nigerian Airforce said in Abuja on Thursday that it followed intelligence reports of terrorist activity in the area.
He explained that surveillance confirmed the presence of an IED-making site and vehicles, which were struck in precision passes by NAF aircraft.
He further disclosed that the operation was a major blow to terrorists’ fighting capabilities, as the successful strikes not only disrupted their command and control as well as logistics chains but also sent shockwaves through their ranks, significantly degrading their morale and operational momentum.
Air Cdre Ejodame reiterated NAF’s resolve to degrade terrorist capabilities and enhance security in the North East will continue until they are completely decimated.
