Enenche explained that the operation was executed after intelligence reports showed that the terrorists’ location had recently been reinforced with fighters and logistics supplies.
He said: “Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets that engaged the location scored accurate hits in their bombing runs, neutralizing some of the terrorists and destroying some of their structures, including one of the terrorists’ logistics’ huts which were seen engulfed in flames.
“Some of the terrorists who escaped the bomb attacks were mopped as the jets strafed their hiding positions.”
