NAF Jets Shell Terrorists’ Hideouts at
Alafa
In continuation of its sustained efforts to wipe out remnants of
Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) in the Northeast of Nigeria, the Air
Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has destroyed a BHT
hideout and killed some fighters at Alafa on the fringes of the
Sambisa Forest in Borno State. The air strike was conducted
yesterday, 1 August 2019, following Intelligence Surveillance and
Reconnaissance (ISR) missions that revealed the presence of the
terrorists, along with their logistics supplies and equipment, in a
group of structures within the settlement.
Accordingly, the ATF dispatched 2 Alpha Jets to attack the
location, scoring accurate hits in the target area, which led to
the destruction of some of the structures and equipment as well as
the killing of several terrorists.
The NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain
its operations against the terrorists in the Northeast.
