Troops of Operation HADIN KAI repelled an attack by ISWAP/JAS terrorists on Forward Operating Base (FOB) Miyanti in Bama Local Government Area of Borno State and uncovered an illegal mining site in Kaduna State.
A credible source at the Army Headquarters told the News Agency of Nigeria that the attack occurred on November 18, 2025.
He said the reinforcement from 21 Special Armoured Brigade engaged the terrorists with superior firepower, forcing them to withdraw and enabling troops to re-occupy the base.
The source said: “In a separate incident, troops of 192 Battalion and 26 Task Force Brigade responded to a distress call from farmers in Warabe and Sava-Dure communities of Gwoza Local Government Area, where terrorists attacked farmers.
