The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), operating under Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), has destroyed an IED factory, terrorist gun trucks and eliminated dozens of fighters in Kwaltiri, within the Tumbuktu Triangle, Borno State.
In a statement, the Director of Public Relations and Information, NAF, Air Commode Ehimen Ejodame disclosed that on the 18 June 2025 airstrike followed intelligence reports of terrorist activity in the area.
Sir Commode Ejodame said that “surveillance confirmed the presence of an IED-making site and vehicles, which were struck in precision passes by NAF aircraft”.
According to him, the operation is a major blow to terrorists’ fighting capabilities, as the successful strikes not only disrupted their command and control as well as logistics chains but also sent shockwaves through their ranks, significantly degrading their morale and operational momentum.
It reinforces NAF’s resolve to degrade terrorist capabilities and enhance security in the North East.
