The Nigerian Air Force has announced the successful neutralization of numerous terrorists and the destruction of key logistical hubs in Borno State.
According to Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information at the Air Force Headquarters, the operation led to the elimination of supply vehicles, arms depots, and temporary shelters used by the terrorists.
Ejodame noted that assessments after the strike confirmed it significantly hindered potential threats to the towns of Marte and Monguno in Borno.
“The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), operating under Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), has sustained its momentum in the fight against terrorism with a successful air interdiction mission targeting a major terrorist enclave, also used as a training ground, in Bukar Meram, on the southern flank of the Lake Chad region, Borno State.
“Conducted on 9 June 2025, the operation which followed credible intelligence, resulted in the neutralisation of several terrorists as well as the destruction of key logistics infrastructure, including supply vehicles, weapons storage sites, and makeshift shelters.
“Battle Damage Assessment confirmed that the strike effectively disrupted imminent threats posed to the communities of Marte and Monguno, reinforcing NAF’s proactive posture in safeguarding civilian populations and critical territories.
“The Nigerian Air Force remains resolute in its mandate to protect the sovereignty of the nation and ensure lasting peace and security across the Northeast and beyond,” the statement read.
