NAF PRECISION STRIKES DESTROY TERRORIST ENCLAVE, ELIMINATE SCORES OF TERRORISTS IN LAKE CHAD REGION
The Nigerian Air Force under the Air Component of Operation HADIN KAI, has recorded another major operational success following precision air strikes that destroyed a terrorist enclave and eliminated scores of terrorists at METELE in the Northern Tumbuns area of the Lake Chad Basin.
A statement by the Director of Public Relations and Infiormation Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame indicates that the operation, conducted in the early hours of 10th June 2026, was launched after credible intelligence and subsequent Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions confirmed the presence of a senior terrorist commander, terrorist hideouts, and heightened terrorist activity within the area.
Following positive target identification, the aircraft executed devastating strikes on the designated locations.
Post-strike Battle Damage Assessment confirmed the destruction of the terrorist enclave and the neutralisation of scores of terrorists.
Reacting to the successful operation, the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke, commended the personnel involved and reaffirmed the NAF’s commitment to sustaining relentless pressure on terrorist elements.
