Air strikes by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) aircraft have destroyed terrorists’ logistics storage in Palele near Shiroro in Niger State.
NAF spokesperson, Air Vice Marshall Edward Gabkwet, in a statement on Tuesday, said the air strikes were initiated on Friday, March 15 after “credible intelligence” indicating the presence of terrorists’ weapons cache east of Palele.
Gabkwet said: “Authorization was obtained to deploy air assets to neutralize the threat.
“The operation, which was executed with speed and precision, resulted in significant damage to the target area, including a secondary explosion confirming the destruction of arms and ammunition.
“The weapons are believed to be affiliated to a particular terrorist’s kingpin who is on the Most Wanted Lists of terrorists.”
Gabkwet said the strikes had degraded the “capabilities of terrorist elements operating in the region to attack innocent civilians, especially in Kaduna and Niger States.”
He said the NAF and the ground forces would continue to maintain dominance over “areas of concern through enhanced situational awareness, continuous patrols, and targeted interdiction of terrorists’ safe havens.”
