The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has recorded another major success in its intensified counterterrorism campaign, following a precision air interdiction mission that obliterated a notorious terrorist enclave in the Sambisa Forest on 19 November 2025.
According to the Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, the operation was executed under the directive of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke. The Air Component of Operation HADIN KAI launched the strike after a series of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions traced the movements of terrorists linked to the 17 October ambush on ground troops at Kashomri.
All designated targets at the ARRA hideout were successfully neutralised, resulting in the destruction of the terrorists’ command structures, logistics routes and operational assets. The strike, officials confirmed, significantly weakened the group’s ability to coordinate further attacks.
The NAF described the mission as another demonstration of its unwavering resolve to safeguard the nation, bolster ground operations and maintain unrelenting pressure on terrorist elements across all theatres of operation.
