NAF Jets Target Terrorists Sambisa Axis
The Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has recorded
another success against Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) in the Sambisa
Forest area of Borno State.
The feat was recorded near Bula Bello on 1 January 2020 when a
Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft, whilst returning from another
mission, spotted a BHT gun truck under a tree along with scores of
BHT fighters converged around the tree on the outskirts of the
settlement, ostensibly preparing for an attack against nearby
troops’ positions.
Some of the BHTs were also seen pushing another vehicle to a
location under another tree in the area.
Accordingly, the ATF scrambled its attack aircraft to engage the
location neutralizing some of the terrorists.
Follow-on attacks were also carried out to take out some
locations within Bula Bello where the BHTs were tracked to. The
jets took turns attacking the target area killing more of the BHTs
and destroying some of their structures.
The NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain
its efforts to completely destroy all remnants of the terrorists in
the Northeast.
