OPERATION HAIL STORM: AIR TASK FORCE ELIMINATES KEY ISWAP LEADERS, SCORES OF FIGHTERS IN MASSIVE AIR STRIKES AT KIRTA WULGO AND SABON TUMBUN IN BORNO STATE

1. The Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has taken another major scalp off the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) elements operating in the Island settlements of the Lake Chad in the Northern part of Borno State. This occurred yesterday, 24 August 2020, in massive simultaneous air strikes executed under the subsidiary Operation HAIL STORM at Kirta Wulgo and Sabon Tumbun, 2 settlements on the fringes of the Lake, where several key ISWAP leaders and scores of their fighters were killed.

2. The missions were conducted on the heels of credible Human Intelligence (HUMINT) reports indicating that some ISWAP leaders and fighters had relocated to Sabon Tumbun due to the impact of the recent air strikes at the nearby Island settlement of Tumbuma Baba. Similarly, up to 15 high ranking ISWAP Commanders along with scores of their fighters were harboured at Kirta Wulgo, which serves as Administrative Headquarters and training camp for ISWAP.

3. Accordingly, the Air Task Force dispatched an enhanced force package of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets and helicopter gunships to attack the 2 locations scoring devastating hits leading to the elimination of several of the terrorists. Prominent terrorists’ leaders, including Abu Imraana, ISWAP Naval Commander, as well as Mallam Ibrahim and Mallam Abba, are believed to be among the many ISWAP casualties.

Pic 1: Terrorists' gathering.
Pics 2: Terrorists running to their bunker.
Pics 3: Some dead Terrorists.

Some HVT terrorists escaped into a bunker. If Nigerian Air Force had bunker busters, they would have been properly dealt with.

Good! So of the many terrorists in this picture, the fighter jet took out only? The same BH terrorists DHQ is eliminating always do maximim damage &leave evidence Meanwhile, these band of eliminated terrorists are not interested in Bubu's amnesty?

Hope say una never go bomb IDP again like una do for Rann.
Forking zoo airforce only good at killing civilians.

Lies upon lies

Nigerian security forces should have a battle plan. Modern warfare is Airstrikes followed by Tanks and then Infantry. The combination of these three always destroy the enemy.

How did they know they targets were ISWAP leaders with these unclear pictures?

Unfortunately, mistakes happen in war. Recently, USAF were accused of wiping out an entire Afghan village full of noncombatants. This is just one of numerous cases.

Not trying to justify the unfortunate Rann incident, but it is the reality of war.
