Troops of Nigeria's 15 Brigade, part of the Joint Task Force, conducted a raid on suspected Indigenous People of Biafra/Eastern Security Network (IPOB/ESN) camps in Anambra and Zamfara states. The operation, known as Operation Udo Ka in the southeast and Operation Fansan Yamma in the north-west, resulted in the complete deactivation of three camps and the destruction of equipment and weapons.

Three suspected IPOB/ESN members were killed, while all three camps were destroyed to prevent future use. The troops recovered weapons, explosives, dynamite, motorcycles, gas cylinders, batteries, radio chargers, and other items. One suspected IPOB/ESN member, Chijioke, was arrested along with three others, including two children.
In Zamfara, troops intercepted a suspected courier carrying 180 units of 20mm Super Power explosives from Gusau to Jibia. The suspect, a 57-year-old man, was taken into custody.
