NAF Aircraft Neutralize Armed Bandits in Kaduna
Forest
Several armed bandits have been neutralized and their meeting
venue significantly damaged in air strikes executed by the Air
Component of Operation THUNDER STRIKE in Kwaimbana Forest area of
Kaduna State.
The air raid was conducted yesterday, 17 September 2020, after
series of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR)
missions led to the identification of the hideout along with a
building in the centre of the area which was being used by the
armed bandits as meeting venue.
Accordingly, the Air Component dispatched Nigerian Air Force
(NAF) jets and helicopter gunships to attack the location. The
attack aircraft took turns in engaging the target area, scoring
accurate hits which resulted in the damage of the building as well
as neutralization of several bandits.
