BEVERLY HILLS, October 22, (THEWILL) – A large gathering of Boko Haram terrorists in Urga, close to Konduga, Borno State, was hit with bombs by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) component of Operation Lafiya Dole, leaving all the terrorists dead.
A statement by the NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Olatokunbo Adesanya, said the bombs dispatched from its Alpha Jet also razed down the structures of the terrorists completely.
“Previous intelligence reports, gathered through Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions by NAF ISR platforms, had indicated the presence of a large number of Boko Haram terrorists in Durwawa settlement in the outskirt of Urga,” the statement read.
“Accordingly, one Alpha Jet aircraft was detailed to carry out air interdiction on the target. Overhead the location, the aircraft acquired and attacked the target twice with bombs.
“Subsequent Battle Damage Assessment revealed that the aerial attack set off a fire, causing damage to the BHT structures within the settlement and neutralizing most of the BHTs while a few of them fled the location.
“The aerial attack by the NAF is in furtherance of efforts at ensuring the complete decimation of the BHTs and breaking their will to continue their terrorist attacks on innocent Nigerians.”
