The Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has inflicted heavy casualties on Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) in the Sambisa Forest area of Borno State, North East Nigeria.
A statement from the Coordinator Defence Media Operations Major General John Enenche said the air task force took out the insurgents hideouts in Alagarno, including a compound housing some high-value Boko Haram Terrorist leaders.
The compound, concealed under thick vegetation and located 2.3Km North East of KAFA, was being used by the terrorists to coordinate their nefarious activities.
Major General Eneche further said the destruction of the locations was achieved through multiple air strikes executed on 6 January 2021 as the Air Task Force dispatched appropriate force packages of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets and attack helicopters to engage the target areas in day and night raids, neutralizing several of them.
The Armed Forces of Nigeria said it will not relent until all enemies of the Nation are neutralised and normalcy is restored to all troubled zones.
