Nigeria’s airforce said it had killed more than thirty-five jihadists in raids Saturday on militant fighters that had gathered in Borno State, near the Nigeria–Cameroon border following an attempted attack on ground troops.
The air strike was the latest by the Nigerian military, which is battling a resurgence of attacks in the country’s embattled northeast.
This is contained in a statement released by the Nigerian Airforce.
It said the feat was achieved after acting on multiple intelligence from several sources added that the Air Component executed precision strikes in successive passes, engaging the terrorists and neutralising more than thirty-five fighters at four identified assembly areas.
Reports have it that the region faces frequent attacks from the jihadist fighters of Boko Haram and its rival splinter group, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP).
