NAF Destroys Terrorists’ Gun Truck, Neutralizes Over 20 Fighters, Repels Attack On Troops

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) announced on Wednesday that its Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai successfully neutralized over 20 terrorists and destroyed a gun truck during two separate operations on November 25, 2024, in Kukawa, Borno State. The airstrikes also thwarted an attempted attack on troops in the area.

Air Commodore Olusola Akinboyewa, speaking on the operations, stated:

“In the first mission, NAF fighter jets destroyed a gun truck and neutralized several fighters. The second mission provided close air support to repel an attack on our ground troops.”

The initial operation was based on credible intelligence indicating the presence of a terrorists’ gun truck approximately five kilometers west of Kukawa. NAF fighter jets responded swiftly, acquiring and engaging the target with precision strikes, effectively destroying the gun truck and significantly reducing the terrorists’ operational capacity.

Reaffirming the NAF’s commitment to national security, Akinboyewa added, “The NAF remains dedicated to the collective effort to restore peace and security across the country. We will continue to provide effective airpower in support of our ground forces and other security agencies.”
