The Nigerian military in its resolution to incapacitate and further degrade the fighting spirit of the Boko Haram Terrorist group has carried out several bombings and air strike missions in Sambisa Forest.
The strike missions came after several weeks of tactical reconnaissance by the reconnaissance/surveillance aircraft.
The air strikes, carried out by F-7NI and Alpha Jet fighter aircraft, as well as attack helicopters, according to a statement on Saturday, has resulted in the degradation of the terrorists capabilities and destruction of some of their strong holds.
Intelligence report revealed that as aftermath of the strike missions, the terrorists have been confined and their capabilities greatly reduced, thereby restricting their nefarious activities to small scale attacks and suicide bombings.
The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, assured all Nigerians that the air efforts would be sustained until the Boko Haram activities become a thing of the past.
Abubakar further stated that the Nigerian Air Force with support is willing, able and ready to meet up with current and future security challenges of the Nation.
