In a significant blow to terrorist networks operating in northeastern Nigeria, military forces under Operation HADIN KAI have neutralized more than 50 insurgents, including several high-profile commanders, in precision airstrikes.
Intelligence reports confirmed the success of the operation, which targeted terrorist enclaves and logistical hubs in the Kirta and Arina Ciki areas of the Lake Chad region on May 31.
The strikes were based on actionable intelligence regarding insurgent movements and activities.
Security analyst Zagazola Makama shared details of the operation on his X account, citing military sources.
Among those killed were prominent figures such as Khalifa Umar, a member of the terrorists’ Shura Council from Sigir, along with field commanders identified as Abdallah and Abduljalil.
Beyond the human casualties, the airstrikes destroyed several logistics facilities, supply depots, and life-support structures, significantly disrupting the terrorists’ operational capabilities across the Lake Chad Basin.
