The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), has destroyed a major terrorist hideout in Arra, deep within the Sambisa Forest, in a decisive aerial operation.
Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, NAF’s Director of Public Relations, said the strikes were carried out on orders of Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke, following intelligence from surveillance missions that tracked suspected insurgents linked to the October 17 Kashomri ambush.
NAF aircraft targeted newly identified structures and terrorist positions, successfully dismantling command systems, supply routes, and gathering points.
Ejodame said the operation demonstrates the Air Force’s commitment to protecting Nigeria, degrading terrorist networks, and supporting ground forces.
He reaffirmed NAF’s determination to neutralise threats, safeguard the nation’s territorial integrity, and advance lasting peace.
