Ejodame said that NAF conducted series of precision airstrikes on Thursday and Friday, based on credible intelligence on the plan by the terrorists to launch attacks on Sallah Day.
He said that NAF aircraft targeted terrorist structures reportedly used for storage and coordination, delivering direct hits and crippling planned attacks aimed at disrupting Eid celebrations.
According to him, Battle Damage Assessments confirmed the neutralisation of several terrorists and the destruction of key logistics structures.
“This pre-emptive action underscores NAF’s commitment to safeguarding civilian lives and supporting national security objectives,” he said. (NAN)
