The Nigerian Air Force Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle has destroyed a logistics base used by members of the Boko Haram Terrorists group.
The UAV was on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance mission when it came across the gathering of the Boko Haram terrorists at Garin Moloma, which is about one kilometre north of Sambisa Forest.
At the time of the UAV attack, the location, though under surveillance for quite a while, had a large gathering of Boko Haram terrorists and vehicles.
The multiple explosions and huge fire ball from the location, the Nigerian Air force said in a statement on Tuesday, suggested it may be either an ammunition/fuel storage or weapons/technical workshop.
The statement added: “This strike is thus a major setback for the Boko Haram Sect, and a major plus for the fight against insurgency by our troops.”
