This was stated in a release issued by the Director of Public Relations and Information, NAF, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, on Saturday in Abuja.
Ejodame explained that the operations were carried out on 18 September, based on intelligence received from ground troops.
He noted that a force package comprising Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets and strike aircraft monitored terrorist movements and detected several groups north of Banki.
He added that real-time information was passed to ground forces and base operations, which facilitated coordinated action.
“The strike aircraft engaged the terrorists in three successive precision strikes on their movement routes and assembly areas, effectively neutralising more than 25 fighters.
“Post-strike surveillance confirmed ground forces remained in defensive positions, with no further threats observed,” he said.
Ejodame stressed that the operation highlighted NAF’s decisive support for ground troops, its denial of terrorist freedom of action, and its steadfast commitment to securing Nigeria’s Northeast.
