“The operations, which involved ground and aerial assault…led to the destruction of the identified terrorists camps, killing 74 suspected militants,” area army spokesman Mohammed Dole said of the Thursday raid in Borno in the northeast, Boko Haram’s stronghold.
The strike targeted two villages in the Mainok local government area, not far from Borno’s capital of Maiduguri, where Boko Haram was founded more than a decade ago.
