“In furtherance of the sustained onslaught against the remnant of terrorists in the North-East, the Nigerian Air Force aircraft under Operation Hakin Kai, while on armed reconnaissance mission, took out a gun truck with about eight terrorists at Baranga village in the Marte Local Government Area of Borno State, on Wednesday, September 20.

“The opportunity strike, which presented itself unexpectedly, occurred when two armed terrorists on a motorcycle along an active track were trailed. After sighting the aircraft, the terrorists took cover under a thick vegetation. Upon engaging the vegetation cover, a gun truck with eight terrorists suddenly appeared, speeding off to evade the attack. Subsequently, the gun truck was engaged and destroyed, thus eliminating the terrorists.
