On November 8, 2026, Nigerian Army troops carried out an operation in Taraba State, raiding suspected terrorists' hideouts in the Karim Lamido Local Government Area. The mission, part of Operation WHIRL STROKE, involved the 114 Battalion (Reinforcement). According to a security analyst named Zagazola Makama, the troops initiated a fighting patrol towards Komodoro village around 7:30 am and encountered the suspected terrorists.
Upon spotting the advancing soldiers, the armed men fled, prompting the troops to expand the operation to Mashigin Kirya village.
In Mashigin Kirya, the soldiers engaged another group of suspected terrorists hiding in the area, forcing them to retreat. As part of the operation, the troops recovered five motorcycles believed to have been used by the group for movement and logistics. Additionally, the soldiers fired an 81mm mortar along the terrorists' withdrawal route to disrupt their escape.
