A precision airstrike carried out near Kangarwa in Borno State's Kukawa Local Government Area on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, resulted in the neutralisation of four suspected ISWAP terrorists and the destruction of twelve of the group's logistics boats. The operation was prompted by an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance mission that detected a significant concentration of the terrorists' boats along the riverbank.
The Nigerian Air Force launched an initial strike on the area, which was followed by another aircraft conducting armed reconnaissance observing terrorists attempting to salvage and load damaged boats. The subsequent precision strike targeted a larger cluster of boats, leading to the neutralisation of the four terrorists and the destruction of the twelve logistics boats.
The aircraft remained in the area to monitor further movements and provide continued surveillance following the strike.
