Several terrorists have been reportedly killed following the air strikes on Malum Forest in Kaduna State by Nigeria Air Force.
This was disclosed in a statement on Sunday by Air Vice Marshal Edward Gabkwet, NAF spokesman.
According to him, the operation was carried out on Saturday, August 24 by the Air Component of Operation Whirl Punch.
Speaking further, Gabkwet stated that similar operations were carried out also in Zamfara and Niger respectively that eliminated the insurgents from their enclaves.
” Most of the terrorists responsible for recent attacks on civilians, abductions and cattle rustling within Shiroro Local Government Area (LGA) of Niger State were domiciled in Kaduna State” NAF Spokesman declared
It is against this background that the Air Component planned and executed an Air Interdiction mission on 21 to Aug 24 on the terrorists’ stronghold at Malum Forest. Battle damage assessment and feedback from local sources revealed several of the terrorists were eliminated as a result of the strike.
“Similar strikes were also conducted on terrorists’ hideouts at Bayan Ruwa in Maradun LGA of Zamfara State.
The terrorists were tracked to zinced-roofed structures in a vegetated area with few footpaths and a river line Northwest of the location. The targets were then acquired and engaged in successive passes.”
