The Nigerian Air Force has carried out a fresh air strike on a suspected terrorist enclave in the Mandara Mountains, destroying key structures believed to be supporting insurgent operations.
The development was disclosed in a statement issued on April 28 2026, on the official page of the Nigerian Air Force.
According to the statement, the operation was conducted on April 27 at Guduf, a location identified as a major hub for terrorist activities within the mountainous region.
The Air Force said the strike followed credible intelligence backed by surveillance missions which confirmed the presence of active structures and logistics points linked to insurgent movements.
NAF spokesman, Ehimen Ejodame, said air assets were deployed in a coordinated mission that focused on dismantling operational bases used by the group.
“NAF platforms engaged and neutralised hostile elements and their infrastructure with precision, while maintaining strict adherence to rules of engagement,” he said.
He noted that the targeted locations included facilities believed to be used for planning and supporting attacks, adding that the strike significantly weakened the group’s operational capacity.
The Air Force maintained that the mission was carried out with due consideration for civilian safety and environmental factors, in line with established operational guidelines.
According to the statement, the latest strike forms part of ongoing efforts under Operation HADIN KAI to sustain pressure on insurgent groups and restrict their movement across the region.
