The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has attacked suspected terrorist positions in Guduf, which is in the Mandara Mountains along Nigeria’s northeastern border.
The Air Force said that the strike took place on April 27, 2026, as part of Operation Hadin Kai, which is an ongoing effort to fight terrorism.
Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, the Director of Public Relations and Information, said in a statement that the operation was based on reliable intelligence and reports from surveillance.
He said that air assets were sent in after they found several terrorist bases and supply depots in the area.
Ejodame said that the operation was carried out perfectly, hitting important insurgent infrastructure.
He said, “NAF air assets carried out a coordinated operation that found several terrorist structures and logistics hubs that were actively supporting insurgent activities in the area.”
He said that the strike successfully destroyed important facilities that the insurgents used, making it much harder for them to carry out their operations.
The Air Force stressed that the mission followed all rules of engagement and made sure to protect civilians and the environment.
He also said that the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai used precise targeting to get rid of hostile elements while causing as little damage as possible.
The Mandara Mountains, which are in Adamawa and Borno states and go into Cameroon, have long been known as a safe place for insurgent groups.
The NAF said that the most recent operation shows how committed it is to keeping terrorists from moving freely and making security efforts in the region stronger.
The military said again that it would keep up offensive operations to weaken the insurgents and protect national security.
