The Nigerian military has confirmed that airstrikes in Borno State successfully neutralised 27 terrorists in their hideouts, delivering a significant blow to insurgent capabilities in the North-East.

According to security sources, the operation targeted camps used by insurgents for planning and launching attacks. Precision strikes destroyed weapons stockpiles and disrupted logistics, weakening the groups’ ability to regroup.

Officials described the mission as part of ongoing counter‑terrorism efforts aimed at dismantling Boko Haram and ISWAP networks in the region. Communities near the strike zones have reported improved security following the operation.
