The Nigerian military has launched a successful aerial operation against the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists, killing at least 32 fighters in Dogon Chikun, Borno State. According to sources, the operation targeted a gathering of ISWAP commanders and fighters who had converged on the location after a rift within the group.
Intelligence sources revealed to Zagazola Makama, a security expert in the Lake Chad region, that the airstrikes targeted the terrorists’ hideout, destroying equipment and other vital assets. “The operation was carefully planned and executed to disrupt the terrorists’ plans and reduce their capacity to launch attacks,” a source said.
The Nigerian military’s Operation Hadin Kai, aimed at combating terrorism in the Northeast, has intensified its operations against ISWAP and Boko Haram, focusing on their hideouts and logistics bases. Dogon Chikun, known for its high terrorist activity, has been under surveillance due to its strategic importance to ISWAP operations.
