In a decisive counterterrorism operation, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) launched precision airstrikes on Wednesday against armed terrorist groups in Niger State. The strikes, executed in the early hours, successfully neutralized several insurgents who had been terrorizing remote communities.
According to military sources, the operation was based on actionable intelligence that pinpointed the terrorists’ hideouts near Shiroro and Munya local government areas. Fighter jets reportedly carried out coordinated assaults, destroying enemy encampments and halting planned attacks on civilians.
Local leaders have lauded the NAF’s swift response, noting that the intervention saved lives and restored a sense of security in affected villages. The Nigerian military reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining pressure on terrorists while ensuring minimal civilian casualties.
