“At around 8:30 pm, aerial surveillance revealed multiple houses on fire and the village engulfed in panic. Soon after, 12 motorcycles were spotted leaving the village and tracked to a location near Gidan Kare Village and Kuka Shidda Camp, where they rendezvoused with a larger group of terrorists,” Gabkwet detailed.

He further explained that the terrorists were observed converging from various directions, indicating a coordinated effort to regroup and launch further attacks on nearby villages. Upon confirming the target, NAF promptly authorized the airstrike at 9:40 pm, resulting in the elimination of over 80 terrorists and the destruction of their motorcycles. Surviving terrorists were seen fleeing the scene, with some visibly injured.
