AVM Edward Gabkwet, Director, Public Relations and Information, Nigerian Air Force, NAF, said in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja that the air strike east of Palele in Niger followed confirmation of a cache of arms in the location. He said the operation was executed with speed and precision resulting in significant damage to the target area, including a secondary explosion confirming the destruction of arms and ammunition.
“These strikes have no doubt degraded the capabilities of terrorist elements operating in the region to attack innocent civilians, especially in Kaduna and Niger States. “The NAF, along with other surface forces, will continue to maintain dominance over areas of concern through enhanced situational awareness, continuous patrols, and targeted interdiction of terrorists’ safe-havens,” he added.
