Nigerian Air Force Strikes Kill Terrorists, Destroy Food Depot in Lake Chad Basin

Nigerian Air Force (NAF) jets have conducted airstrikes in the Tumbuns area of the Lake Chad Basin, killing terrorists and destroying a food storage facility.

NAF spokesman Air Commodore Olusola Akinboyewa announced the operation’s success in a statement on Monday, saying it was conducted on November 23 after detailed Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions.

“This strategic location, identified through meticulous intelligence efforts, served as a critical food storage site and a sanctuary for terrorist commanders and fighters,” Akinboyewa said.

He noted that intelligence linked the site to recent attacks, including a November 16 assault on troops in Kareto. The strikes, he said, disrupted the terrorists’ logistical operations and reduced their ability to stage future attacks.

“Mop-up operations using cannons ensured the complete elimination of fleeing hostile elements,” Akinboyewa added.
