Text: NAF sustains air strikes, cripples terrorist networks in North-East, North-West By Zagazola Makama The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has sustained a series of coordinated, intelligence-led air interdiction operations across the North-East and North-West, dealing significant blows to terrorist networks and denying them safe havens. NAF spokesman, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, said in a statement on Friday that the operations were conducted between Jan. 1 and Jan. 2, 2026, under the joint task forces of Operations Hadin Kai and Fasan Yamma Sector 2. Ejodame said the air strikes were executed based on actionable intelligence on terrorist intent, movement and logistics, with air assets deployed to strike identified hideouts, movement routes and assembly areas. He said the operations were aimed at denying terrorists freedom of movement, operational depth and sanctuary within Nigeria’s territory. “In the North-East theatre, successive precision strikes were delivered against deeply concealed terrorist enclaves at Abirma and Chiralia within the Timbuktu Triangle, following persistent surveillance that confirmed active facilities linked to improvised explosive device production and attack planning,” he said.
