Nigerian Air Force Neutralizes Terrorists in Mandara Mountains Airstrikes

Aerial bombardments carried out by the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai in the early hours of 3 July 2024, near Degbewa and Chinene, two known terrorist hideouts tucked in the Mandara mountains, have led to the elimination of several terrorists and their structures.

The airstrikes became expedient after several days of aerial surveillance over Chinene and Degbewa, which revealed a consistent gathering of a large number of terrorists in the area, also suspected to be sites for manufacturing Improvised Explosive Devices and storage areas. The terrorists were also observed to be loitering within the vicinity, clearly oblivious to what was to befall them, and probably confident that their location was safe and secure from any form of military bombardments.

The airstrikes were thus authorized, with the aircraft bombarding the locations in several passes until the majority of the terrorists were eliminated. Others observed fleeing the location were taken out using cannons.
