Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter planes have bombarded a sizeable number of Boko Haram terrorists during their meeting inside the Sambisa forest.
Air Commodore, Olatokunbo Adesanya, Director of Public Relations and Information, said this in a statement on Saturday.
Adesanya said that fighter jets conducted an air interdiction mission on a large structure in Talala, a location in Sambisa occupied by some Boko Haram terrorists.
“Intelligence reports from NAF Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance platforms as well as Human Intelligence had revealed that a sizeable number of BHTs were holding a meeting in the blue-roofed building,” Adesanya said.
“Consequently, a NAF fighter aircraft was scrambled to attack the building.
“Subsequent Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) revealed that the building and its occupants were neutralized as a result of the air strike.”
NAF had initiated Operation RUWAN WUTA II, on October 23, 2017, to further decimate the ability of the sect to freely operate with a view to giving advantage to ground troops.
