The helicopters delivered accurate hits in their multiple waves of attack, obliterating no fewer than 6 additional gun trucks, which were seen engulfed in flames across the battlespace.

Several other terrorists were mopped-up in follow-on attacks as the helicopter gunships continued to strafe the fleeing ISWAP elements.

A statement by Major John Enenche,, coordinator of defence Media operation further assured that the Armed Forces of Nigeria, operating in concert with other security agencies and stakeholders, will sustain the offensive against the enemies of our Great Nation.

We shall not relent until normalcy is restored not only in the Northeast but also in every other troubled part of our beloved Country.
