In an operation dubbed Operation HADIN KAI, military forces conducted a targeted air strike on a suspected terrorist structure in Borno, neutralising approximately eight fighters. According to security analyst Zagazola Makama, the strike took place around 11:38 p.m. on Saturday, October 10, 2026. The operation was carried out following intelligence reports suggesting a potential attack on troops of Sector 3.
Makama, who shared the details on X, stated that aerial surveillance detected five suspected fighters hiding under a tree and four others entering a nearby life-support structure. Subsequent movement within the area led to a precision strike on the suspected terrorists' position. The strike resulted in the destruction of the targeted structure and reportedly neutralised eight suspected terrorists.
Following the operation, a battle damage assessment revealed that four suspected fighters attempted to flee from beneath the tree and adjoining buildings, seeking safety. Makama emphasized that the air strike was part of ongoing efforts to disrupt terrorist concentrations and prevent planned attacks on troops.
