The Nigerian Air Force, under Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) has intensified combat efforts to ensure security is maintained in the North East.
The Director of Public Relations and Information, NAF, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame said in a statement that “in a precision air interdiction carried out in the early hours of 23 August 2025, the NAF neutralised more than 35 terrorists who had converged near the Nigeria–Cameroon border following an attempted attack on ground troops at Kumshe.”
According to him, acting on multiple intelligence from several sources, they executed “precision strikes in successive passes, engaging the terrorists and neutralising more than 35 fighters at four identified assembly areas.”
“Following the operation, communication was re-established with ground troops, who confirmed that the situation around their location had been stabilised.”
He said the latest operation demonstrated the NAF’s commitment to providing close air support to ground forces, while also disrupting terrorist logistics and movement corridors along the North East border regions.
The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, commended the professionalism of the aircrew and reaffirmed that the NAF would sustain aggressive and intelligence-driven air operations in the region.
