The Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has destroyed
an Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) logistics base
near Arege in the northern part of Borno State. This was
accomplished in an air strike conducted on 2 February 2019, after
series of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR)
missions revealed the presence of some vehicles and equipment, well
camouflaged under dense vegetation in the area.
Accordingly, the ATF scrambled a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Alpha
Jet aircraft to attack the location, supported by an ISR aircraft
which conducted the Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) for the
mission.
The BDA revealed that the Alpha Jet’s bomb strikes scored direct
hits on the target location, totally destroying the vehicles and
other logistics items, thereby further degrading the terrorists’
capabilities. At the end of the attack, the entire area was
engulfed in fire and terrorists in the location neutralized. The
NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain its
efforts to completely destroy all remnants of the terrorists in the
Northeast.
