The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has said that the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai destroyed a terrorist training camp in the Lake Chad Region during an air interdiction.
The NAF also stressed that the air interdiction by the Air Component thwarted planned terrorist attacks on Marte and Monguno communities in Borno State.
This, the Service said, is in addition to the destruction of key logistics infrastructure, including supply vehicles, weapons storage sites, and makeshift shelters.
The Director of Public Relations and Information, Headquarters, Nigerian Air Force, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, in a statement, said: “The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), operating under Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK), has sustained its momentum in the fight against terrorism with a successful air interdiction mission targeting a major terrorist enclave, also used as a training ground, in Bukar Meram, on the southern flank of the Lake Chad region, Borno State.
“Conducted on 9 June 2025, the operation, which followed credible intelligence, resulted in the neutralisation of several terrorists, as well as the destruction of key logistics infrastructure, including supply vehicles, weapons storage sites, and makeshift shelters. Battle Damage Assessment confirmed that the strike effectively disrupted imminent threats posed to the communities of Marte and Monguno, reinforcing NAF’s proactive posture in safeguarding civilian populations and critical territories.”
The Nigerian Air Force, he said, remains resolute in its mandate to protect the sovereignty of the nation and ensure lasting peace and security across the Northeast and beyond.
