The Air Task Force of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has obliterated additional 6 gun trucks and eliminated scores of terrorists in Marte, Borno State.
The Task Force in a combined ground and air operation also destroyed 7 gun trucks.
The Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Major General John Enenche said ” this occurred  as the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) helicopter gunships engaged the convoy of ISWAP gun trucks as they approached Marte axis for reinforcement.” 
Major General Enenche noted that the helicopters delivered accurate hits in their multiple waves of attack, obliterating no fewer than 6 additional gun trucks, which were seen engulfed in flames across the battlespace.
He said “several other terrorists were mopped-up in follow-on attacks as the helicopter gunships continued to strafe the fleeing ISWAP elements”. 
According to him,  the Armed Forces of Nigeria, operating in concert with other security agencies and stakeholders, would  sustain the offensive against the enemies of the  Great Nation.
He added that they shall not relent until normalcy is restored not only in the Northeast but also in every other troubled part of our beloved Country.
