The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has said that air strikes neutralised terrorists at Parisu, a location near Sambisa Forest; with similar strikes killing insurgents at Tumbun Agiri within the Tumbuns in the Lake Chad region.

The feat was accomplished thanks to the efforts of the air and ground components of Operation Hadin Kai in Borno State, North-East Nigeria, according to a statement issued by the NAF on Sunday.

While the Parisu operation took place on January 5, 2024, the Lake Chad region operation took place on January 6, 2024, according to NAF spokesman Edward Gabkwet.

At Parisu, the Algerian Armed Forces stated, “12 terrorists were neutralised in the strike, and their logistics destroyed, thereby degrading their ability to attack soft targets and own troops” .

For the Lake Chad region, NAF said, “The precision strikes on the location led to the destruction of the vehicles, motorcycles as well as elimination of several terrorists.
