NAF kills suspected terrorists in Katsina, Zamfara air raids

The air components of Operation Hadarin Daji and Operation Hadin Kai have killed several suspected terrorists in air raids in the Northern part of the country.

The Director of Public Relations and Information, Nigerian Air Force, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, said in a statement on Sunday in Abuja the airstrikes conducted between October 31 and November 1 specifically targeted the terrorist leaders in Katsina, Borno, and Zamfara States.

He said: “The preceding week has no doubt been eventful, especially for the air components of Operation Hadarin Daji (OPHD) in the North-West and Operation Hadin Kai in North-East Nigeria. Alongside the Land Component and other security agencies, aircraft under these operational theatres have ensured that terrorists, insurgents, and other criminal elements operating in the two regions do not constitute significant security threats to innocent citizens within the regions.
