Military shares video showing aircraft strikes on Boko Haram hideout in Borno yesterday

The Air Component of Operation Lafiya Dole recorded another major success yesterday July 7th in its air campaign against the Boko Haram Terrorists(BHT) as 2 x F-7Ni fighter aircraft struck a terrorists’ location at Northern Borno. The location lies between Tumbum Rego and Malkonory and is about 25km from Kangarwa where own surface forces are currently harboured.

The location, as can be seen from the enclosed footage, harbors Boko Haram Terrorist makeshift structures and about 4-6 clusters of solar panels which are used by the Terrorists to power communications equipment and for lighting.

The location, prior to the strike yesterday, had been under surveillance for sometimes but was reported active by a NAF Beechcraft aircraft on Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission. Thereafter, the Fighter aircraft were immediately scrambled for interdiction.

The success of this operation is another major setback for the BHTs even as the NAF intensifies air operations in the Northeast against the insurgents. More so, it is instructive to note that the mission yesterday was conducted by crew amid the Sallah celebration.

This brings to fore the commitment of NAF personnel towards successfully bringing the hostility in the Northeast to an end within the shortest possible time.
