JAS Militants Hit Hard as NAF Airstrikes Target Supply Lines and Bases, Neutralise Dozens of Terrorists

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), under Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), in a major blow to insurgent networks in Nigeria’s North-East, launched precision air strikes on 6 July 2025 against key terrorist strongholds nestled in the Mandara Mountains, located in Borno State. 

NAF Spokesperson, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame said in a press statement on Monday that the high-profile targets, Wa Jahode and Loghpere, have long served as fortified enclaves for the Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad (JAS) faction of Boko Haram. 

Ejodame noted that the locations, known for their rugged, mountain-covered terrain along Nigeria’s border with Cameroon, had recently witnessed increased terrorist activity, including reports of a logistics build-up and the presence of senior JAS Commanders. 

The strikes followed confirmatory Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance missions revealing clusters of structures fitted with solar panels, black flags, and fortified compounds, clear signs of insurgent resurgence and preparations for coordinated attacks.

In response, NAF strike aircraft executed a series of well-coordinated air interdictions, targeting and destroying high-value terrorist infrastructure including logistics warehouses, command centres, and defensive shelters. 

NAF Spokesperson confirmed that several terrorists were neutralised in the operation, effectively disrupting their supply chain and diminishing their capability to sustain further offensives. 

The Nigerian Air Force remains resolute to sustain ongoing onslaught against terrorists and restore lasting peace to all troubled regions across the Country.
