Nigerian military jets, as part of Operation Hadin Kai, carried out airstrikes on suspected terrorist structures and supply hubs in the Tumbuns region of Borno State, reportedly eliminating around 18 militants. Counter-terrorism analyst Zagzola Makama reported the operation, which took place around 6:05 a.m. on September 11, was launched following intelligence reports of a significant terrorist gathering on nearby islands.
The military confirmed the strikes after conducting reconnaissance missions on September 9, which identified multiple terrorist installations and logistics sites. Aircraft engaged the targets with precision munitions, causing damage to several facilities and eliminating the designated terrorists. The operation reportedly achieved an estimated 85% success rate, with additional air interdiction operations recommended to solidify the results and further disrupt the remaining terrorist elements in the area.
