OPERATION HADIN KAI ELIMINATE 38 TERRORISTS IN DEVASTATING PRECISION AIRSTRIKES ACROSS BORNO
Air platforms of Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) have eliminated approximately 38 suspected terrorists in a series of coordinated precision air strikes conducted across Borno State between the night of August 21 and the early hours of August 22, following intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions that detected terrorist movements and concentrations in separate locations.
In the first operation, an armed reconnaissance platform operating over Aduwa at about 10:23 p.m. on August 21 received intelligence on the presence of terrorist fighters and vehicles in the area. The aircraft tracked the terrorists to a settlement where about eight fighters had gathered, while other groups were observed at different positions. Following the required operational procedures and authorisation, a precision strike was conducted against the larger concentration, with Battle Damage Assessment indicating that approximately 16 terrorists were eliminated inside and around makeshift structures.
At about midnight, the aircraft continued surveillance and detected another group of approximately 10 terrorists who had fled the initial strike and regrouped near a tree. A second precision strike was conducted, with subsequent assessment indicating that all 10 were neutralised. The two strikes in the Aduwa area therefore accounted for approximately 26 terrorists.
In a separate operation around Buratai, another precision strike platform tracked about 12 suspected terrorists who had gathered at a hut. After maintaining surveillance and receiving the necessary authorisation to engage, the aircraft struck the target at about 12:31 a.m. on August 22, achieving a direct hit. The engagement was assessed to have neutralised all 12 terrorists at the location, bringing the total number eliminated in the coordinated operations to approximately 38.
The latest strikes underscore the increasing pressure being brought to bear on terrorist networks operating in the North-East, particularly their fighting formations, logistics, command structures and freedom of movement. Military sources said the overall security situation remains calm but unpredictable, while the morale and fighting efficiency of troops remain satisfactory.
The operations are expected to further disrupt terrorist command-and-control structures and make it increasingly difficult for insurgents to mass fighters without being detected. With Operation HADIN KAI sustaining its intelligence-driven campaign, terrorist groups are increasingly being forced to abandon large gatherings and resort to smaller, concealed movements.
However, the latest precision strikes demonstrate that concealment may no longer provide terrorists with the sanctuary they once enjoyed, as the military continues to combine persistent surveillance with precision air power to hunt down hostile concentrations across the theatre.
