The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), in past one week, has successfully
struck a number of Boko Haram Terrorist (BHT) locations, including their
logistics bases, within the Sambisa Forest.
The air interdiction missions were conducted day and night using a
combination of combat platforms comprising F-7Ni fighter aircraft, Alpha
Jets and Mi-24V helicopter gunship.
The latest air strikes against the BHTs are fallouts of OPERATION
FOREST STORM launched by the NAF on 2 October 2016 to further degrade
the capability of the BHT elements within the Sambisa general area in
order to create the enabling environment for own ground forces to
continue their operation.
From Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), it
appears the insurgents are low on logistics as no vehicle was seen
moving.
Furthermore, Battle Damage Assessment showed that the entire
operation was a success even as human intelligence confirmed that a
number of the insurgents were killed.
