NAF Attack Jets Raid Warshale, Eliminate B’Haram Fighters
Air strikes being conducted by the Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation Lafiya Dole, under the subsidiary Operation Hail Storm, have continued to yield tangible results, the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has said.
The latest of these, according to the DHQ, is the destruction of several Boko Haram Terrorists’ (BHTs’) structures and neutralization of their fighters at Warshale, in the Northern part of Borno State, on Wednesday.
The Defence Media Operations (DMO), said the mission was executed after credible intelligence reports and series of aerial surveillance missions.

Maj. Gen. John Enenche, Coordinator of DMO, in a statement, disclosed that the reports and surveillance missions established that the settlement was one of those being used by the terrorists as staging area to launch attacks.
He said: “Accordingly, the Air Task Force dispatched Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets and attack helicopters, which engaged the location recording devastating hits resulting in the obliteration of several structures as well as the neutralization of some of the terrorists.
“The Armed Forces of Nigeria, operating in concert with other security agencies and stakeholders, will sustain its efforts to rid the North East of all terrorists and other criminal elements.”
