The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), through the Air Component of Operation HADIN KAI, has sustained its aggressive counter‑terrorism air campaign in Borno State, delivering decisive strikes against terrorist strongholds and logistics enclaves within the Sambisa Forest axis,” the Service said in a statement obtained by Dailyeconomy.
According to the statement, following “credible Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance reports,” NAF air assets on 26 May 2026 executed precision strikes on identified terrorist hideouts and support structures at Biramiri in the Gezuwa general area of Borno State.
The coordinated attacks, the statement added, “destroyed key terrorist facilities and neutralised several fighters, further crippling the operational capacity of the insurgents.”
The Air Force said the “intensity and precision of the ongoing air offensives have continued to generate fear and confusion among terrorist elements across the Sambisa axis,” and that intelligence assessments show growing apprehension and disorientation within insurgent ranks as sustained bombardments deny them freedom of movement and safe havens.
NAF emphasised it is operating “in concert with troops of Operation HADIN KAI and other security agencies” and remains “resolute in maintaining relentless pressure on terrorist networks while reinforcing its commitment to protecting innocent lives and restoring lasting peace and security across the North‑East.”
