Troops of Operation Hadin Kai killed 16 terrorists during a coordinated ambush in the Boima area of Gombi Local Government Area, Adamawa State, according to the Nigerian Army. The operations, carried out between September 30 and October 1, also involved an air strike and defensive actions against attacks on military positions.
The Army said troops recovered three AK-47 rifles, two pump-action rifles, a Dane gun, six AK-47 magazines and ammunition after the Boima engagement. It added that an intelligence aircraft later detected another group of suspected terrorists with motorcycles, prompting an air strike on their position.
Three soldiers were killed when insurgents separately attacked military locations at Garkida and Garaha, while wounded personnel were evacuated for treatment. The Army said follow-up and mop-up operations were continuing across the affected areas.聽
