NAF PRECISION STRIKES DESTROY TERRORIST ENCLAVE, NEUTRALISE SCORES OF TERRORISTS IN LAKE CHAD REGION[b]

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), under the Air Component of Operation HADIN KAI, has recorded another major operational success following precision air strikes that destroyed a terrorist enclave and neutralised scores of terrorists at METELE in the Northern Tumbuns area of the Lake Chad Basin. The operation, conducted in the early hours of 10 June 2026, was launched after credible intelligence and subsequent Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions confirmed the presence of a senior terrorist commander, terrorist hideouts, and heightened terrorist activity within the area.

Acting on the intelligence, NAF air assets engaged the identified targets with precision. Upon arrival, aircrew observed significant terrorist movement around the concealed structures, confirming the presence of hostile elements. Following positive target identification, the aircraft executed devastating strikes on the designated locations. Post-strike Battle Damage Assessment confirmed the destruction of the terrorist enclave and the neutralisation of scores of terrorists.

Reacting to the successful operation, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, commended the personnel involved and reaffirmed the NAF's commitment to sustaining relentless pressure on terrorist elements. He stated: "We will continue to leverage our air power capabilities to locate, strike, and destroy terrorist targets wherever they are found. The Nigerian Air Force remains resolute in denying terrorists freedom of action and ensuring they have no safe haven within our sovereign territory."

[/b]NAF ADVANCES SPECIAL FORCES PREPAREDNESS THROUGH AIR-TO-GROUND INTEGRATION TRAINING[b]

As part of ongoing efforts to enhance operational effectiveness and strengthen joint force capabilities, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), through the Air Warfare and Doctrine Centre (AWDC), conducted an Air-to-Ground Integration training package from 4 to 6 June 2026 for trainees of the ongoing Special Forces Course 13/2026 at the Regiment Training Centre Annex (RTCA), Bauchi. The training reflects the Chief of the Air Staff's commitment to developing a highly professional, agile and mission-ready force capable of effectively addressing contemporary security challenges.

The training was designed to deepen participants' understanding of joint operations and enhance their ability to effectively integrate air power into ground missions. Trainees were exposed to key principles, procedures and operational considerations required for seamless coordination between air and ground forces. The package highlighted the critical role of air assets in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), close air support, casualty evacuation, aerial resupply and rapid force projection during special operations. Speaking during the training, the Commandant of RTCA Bauchi, Squadron Leader Edeama Lawrence Akpan, emphasised the growing importance of air-to-ground integration in modern warfare. He noted that successful mission accomplishment increasingly depends on effective synchronisation between air and ground elements, particularly in complex operational environments.

Resource persons from AWDC delivered presentations on mission planning, communication procedures, target acquisition, airspace coordination measures, close air support procedures and the responsibilities of ground forces in the employment of air power. The interactive sessions provided participants with opportunities to engage facilitators, seek clarifications and gain deeper insight into the planning and execution of joint operations. The training aligns with the Chief of the Air Staff's emphasis on operational effectiveness, doctrinal development and capacity building as critical enablers of mission success. It also supports the NAF's commitment to producing highly skilled and combat-ready Special Forces personnel capable of operating effectively within a joint operational framework.

[/b]NAF EARNS INTERNATIONAL COMBAT MEDICAL TRAINING ACCREDITATION, ENHANCES OPERATIONAL READINESS[b]

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), in collaboration with the German Technical Advisory Group (GTAG), has achieved a significant milestone in combat medical capability following the accreditation of the Air Mobile First Aid Unit (AMFAU) of the Nigerian Air Force School of Medical Sciences and Aviation Medicine (NAFSMSAM), Kaduna, by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT), USA. The achievement was marked by the successful conduct of the first-ever NAEMT-accredited Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training in Nigeria, positioning AMFAU among a select group of accredited NAEMT training centres in West Africa and reinforcing the NAF's commitment to developing world-class combat medical capabilities.

The Tactical Combat Casualty Care programme is globally recognised as the gold standard in battlefield medicine, equipping personnel with critical lifesaving skills required to manage trauma and medical emergencies in operational environments. The training reflects the NAF's commitment to international best practices and comes at a time when the Service remains actively engaged in counter-insurgency, counter-terrorism and other joint military operations across the country. By strengthening combat medical expertise, the NAF is enhancing force protection, operational resilience and mission effectiveness while improving its capacity to support both operational and humanitarian contingencies.

Speaking on the achievement, the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, described the accreditation and successful conduct of the inaugural TCCC course as a strategic advancement in the Nigerian Air Force's drive towards operational excellence. He noted that the capability would significantly enhance operational readiness and survival outcomes during military operations, adding that "every life saved on the battlefield strengthens operational effectiveness and contributes directly to the successful accomplishment of the Nigerian Air Force's mandate in support of national security objectives." The event, hosted by the Commandant of NAFSMSAM, Air Vice Marshal AC Ekpe, also witnessed the formal activation of AMFAU as an accredited NAEMT Training Centre and highlighted the enduring partnership between the NAF and GTAG in advancing military medical training, combat casualty care and capacity development.

[/b]In confirmation of Al-Naba's report on ISSP in Northwest Nigeria, Islamic State has released pictures of seven Nigerian soldiers killed in an attack on the village of 'Rumji Dan Doto' in Sokoto state. It also released images of weapons captured during the attack. This matches the attack in Rumji reported by the media around the same time, which was then attributed to Lakurawa. Two of the latest images also match those released in Al-Naba.

In the Al-Naba announcement, IS had claimed two attacks in Northwest Nigeria, including the 24 March attack in Shanga, Kebbi state, carried out by Lakurawa. ISSP has not released photos from the Shanga attack.

The confirmation of ISSP's presence in northwestern Nigeria adds to the complexity of the conflict in the Northwest, and possibly the Northcentral as well[b]

[/b]IS-Sahel has claimed for the first time attacks against the Nigerian army in Kebbi and Sokoto states of northwest Nigeria, this confirms my reports for the last few years that the so-called "Lakurawa" is only a front group for the Islamic State, despite many "analysts" and "experts" claiming otherwise.

And just as reported, the Islamic State explains that they were active in NW Nigeria for a long time previously, but refrained from claiming these attacks until now for operational security reasons[b]
