The Nigerian Air Force says, it killed several Boko Haram terrorists during a raid on suspected hideouts of the insurgents in Sambisa forest.
Air Commodore Olatokunbo Adesanya said that a few terrorists were seen evacuating the remains of dead Boko Haram fighters after a series of airstrikes.
The statement reads: “During the ISR mission, a large group of Boko Haram Terrorists was seen converging under a tree close to a prominent zinc-roofed structure.
A confirmatory mission indicated that the structure was indeed a Boko Haram hideout, housing a large number of terrorists.
“Following the first and second strikes, the building was completely destroyed and the location was strafed during the third attack.
The fourth attack was redirected to a close by building, where Boko Haram activity was also noticed. Subsequent, battle damage assessment revealed that the hideout was completely reduced to rubble and several elements were killed while a few of them were seen evacuating the casualties.”
