The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has struck a newly identified terrorist enclave west of Zuwa in the Sambisa general area of Borno State, neutralising over 15 and destroying key structures critical to their operations.

NAF’s spokesman, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, said the feat was achieved through the Air Component under the Joint Task Force North-East of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK).
“On 3 September 2025, a carefully planned and executed air interdiction mission struck a newly identified terrorist enclave west of Zuwa in the Sambisa general area.

“Acting on credible intelligence and confirmatory surveillance, the mission targeted hideouts harbouring fighters and commanders responsible for recent hostilities around Bitta.

“The strikes proved devastating, neutralising over 15 terrorists and demolishing key structures critical to their operations,” Ejodame said.

He said the latest success underscored the NAF’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding the lives and property of Nigerians while supporting ground troops in joint operations to dismantle terrorist networks.

He assured that the Nigerian Air Force would continue to stand as a symbol of vigilance, professionalism, and decisive airpower in defence of national security, adding, “Every successful strike brings Nigeria one step closer to lasting peace.”
