Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have killed over 50 terrorists and foiled multiple coordinated attacks on military bases in Borno and Yobe States.
The assaults, launched between midnight and 4 a.m. on Thursday, targeted troops in Dikwa, Mafa, Gajibo, and Katarko.
Spokesman for the operation, Lt.-Col. Sani Uba, said the troops, supported by airstrikes, repelled the attacks and maintained control of all positions.
He said several weapons, including AK-47 rifles, PKT machine guns, RPG tubes, and ammunition, were recovered.
Uba confirmed that some soldiers sustained injuries but were in stable condition, while fleeing terrorists are being pursued by ground and air forces.
The military high command commended the troops’ bravery and reaffirmed its commitment to defending the nation’s territorial integrity.
