According to reports, a precision-guided airstrike carried out today in the Mobbar Local Government Area of Borno State, in coordination with the ground soldiers of Operation HADIN KAI, has killed a significant number of ISWAP terrorists.The effective airstrikes were carried out in response to information received that suggested there had been a significant inflow of ISWAP terrorists into Nigeria along the Komadugu-yobe River, which separates Nigeria from Niger.
According to reports, the terrorists, who include both foreign and local fighters, have been wreaking havoc in the border settlements.
Zagazola Makama, a Security Intelligence analyst, is aware that the terrorists' movements were tracked to a secluded area near ASAGAR village, where they were joined by additional terrorists in what appeared to be a gathering for a planned attack.
According to the sources, after the targets were acquired, they were aggressively bombarded, which resulted in the destruction of a significant number of terrorists.
According to a ground assessment conducted by sources, many ISWAP unit commanders and high value fighters were killed and numerous more suffered critical injuries.
Zagazola made hints that, in the previous seven days, this is the fourth significant attack that has been effective against ISWAP and Boko Haram sites in the northeast.
"In order to prevent significant casualties when targeted by airstrikes and artillery shelling, these military airstrikes and ground offensives have forced ISWAP/Boko Haram to adopt new tactics of giong for their attacks on foot, stopped using hilux trucks, and spread their men in very small units and spatial locations.
"Terrorist organizations have also directed a greater number of their assaults towards susceptible, nearby farming communities that are devoid of robust security measures." He stated
