Nigerian Air Force (NAF) attack aircraft of the Air Task
Force (ATF), Operation LAFIYA DOLE have neutralized scores of Boko Haram
Terrorists (BHTs) in air strikes conducted yesterday, 31 August 2019, at Yuwe
‘C’ in Borno State. The air raid was executed in continuation of Operation
GREEN SWEEP 3 after credible Human Intelligence (HUMINT) reports, which were
also corroborated by series of Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance
(ISR) missions, established that the settlement was being used as a hideout for
the BHTs.
The ATF therefore detailed 2 Alpha Jets and an L-39ZA aircraft to attack the
target area. As the aircraft arrived overhead the target area, several BHTs
were seen attempting to flee while many others concealed themselves in the
structures and dense vegetation of the area. The jets took turns attacking the
target, scoring crucial hits on the hideout leading to the neutralization of
several BHT fighters.
The NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain its operations
against the terrorists in the Northeast.
