The Defence Headquarters on Friday said the recent airstrikes in the North West demonstrate the Federal Government’s unwavering resolve to confront terrorism, carried out in collaboration with the United States.
Disclosing this in a statement, DHQ spokesman, Samaila Uba, said the operation followed credible intelligence and was aimed at degrading the operational capabilities of the terrorists while minimising collateral damage.
Uba, a major-general, stated that the strikes were conducted with the approval of appropriate authorities as part of sustained efforts to rid the country of terrorists and other criminal elements threatening national security.
According to him, the operation underscored the resolve of the Federal Government, working with strategic international partners, to confront transnational terrorism and prevent foreign fighters from establishing or expanding footholds within Nigeria.
The defence spokesman reaffirmed the commitment of the Armed Forces to the protection of lives and property across the country.
