Video of Attack
In continuation of the sustained offensive against terrorist
targets in the Northeast of the Country under the auspices of
Operation RATTLE SNAKE 2, the Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation
LAFIYA DOLE, has destroyed some facilities at an Islamic State of
West Africa Province (ISWAP) hideout at Kusuma on the fringes of
the Lake Chad.
The air strike was conducted on the heels of credible
intelligence reports indicating that a cluster of compounds within
the settlement was being used to house some ISWAP leaders along
with their supplies.
Accordingly, after confirmatory Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance (ISR), the ATF detailed its attack aircraft to
engage the location leading to the destruction of the designated
structures, some of which were seen engulfed in flames.
The NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain
its air campaign to shape the battlespace in the Northeast for the
effective conduct of further ground and air operations.
