The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has carried out a successful air interdiction mission against a major terrorist enclave in the Lake Chad region, Borno State.
The operation, conducted on June 9, 2025, resulted in the killing of several terrorists and the destruction of key logistics infrastructure.
According to Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information at the NAF headquarters, “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 airstrike targeted a terrorist training ground in Bukar Meram, located on the southern flank of the Lake Chad region.
The statement noted that the Battle Damage Assessment confirmed the destruction of supply vehicles, weapons storage sites, and makeshift shelters.
“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,” Ejodame added.
The NAF’s continued efforts to combat terrorism in the region have yielded significant results, with the air force playing a critical role in safeguarding civilian populations and disrupting terrorist operations.
