The Nigerian military is currently
carrying out an air raid on Sambisa
forest and Gwoza, both in Borno state, Chris Olukolade, a major-general and director of defence information, has said.
The air raid, he said, has already
resulted in the death of more Boko
Haram militants, following the earlier
killing of about 300 Boko Haram
militants in "comprehensive military
raids".
"A concerted air campaign by the
Nigerian air force is ongoing in
furtherance of the mission to clear
terrorists from all their enclaves," he
said.
"The air strikes which today targeted
the training camps and logistics dumps of the terrorists in Sambisa forests and parts of Gwoza, have been highly successful as it achieved the aims with required precision.
"The death of a large number of
terrorists has been recorded while
many others are also scampering all
over the forest and out of the struck
bases."
Olukolade added that details of
casualty would be determined in
subsequent phases of the operation.
"Meanwhile, the strikes continue in
other locations of the theatre, heralding the advance of troops and other elements of the mission," he said.
