Over a dozen of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists were reportedly killed by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) in another deadly airstrike.
New Telegraph reports that the airstrike was conducted on Wednesday at a location near Marte Local Government Area of Borno State.
This was made known by Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert in the Lake Chad region on Thursday via his Twitter handle.
“The insurgents were neutralized in a precise, intelligence-led air strike carried out by the Air Component command, Operation Hadin Kai in Tumbum SHITTU,” he twitted.
