OPERATION GREEN SWEEP 3: NAF STRIKES KILL SCORES OF TERRORISTS IN BULA KOREGE, BORNO

By Samuel Itsede

Scores of Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) have been neutralized and their hideout destroyed at Bula Korege on the fringes of the Sambisa Forest in Borno State.

In a statement by Air Force spokes man Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, This was achieved in devastating air strikes conducted by the Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE as part of missions in the ongoing Operation GREEN SWEEP 3.

The target was designated for attack based on credible Intelligence reports, which were further corroborated by series of Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, that established the settlement as a major hub of BHT activities.

The ATF therefore detailed 2 Alpha Jets to attack the target area. The air strikes were synchronized for maximum effect, recording devastating hits on the BHT hideout and killing several of their fighters, as captured in the Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) footage.

The statement further noted that the NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain its operations against the terrorists in the Northeast.
