[/b]TROOPS FOIL TERRORIST AMBUSH, DISMANTLE MAKESHIFT CAMPS IN NORTH EAST, RECOVER RPG BOMBS, MOTORCYCLES AND OTHER COMBAT ENABLERS [b]

Troops of 27 Task Force Brigade, operating under Sector 2, Operation HADIN KAI, have on 7 September 2026 successfully foiled an ambush by suspected Boko Haram terrorists along the Buni Gari–Buratai axis in Biu Local Government Area of Borno State. The troops, while conducting a routine patrol along the axis, encountered the terrorists and responded decisively, forcing the terrorists to withdraw from the area in disarray. Reinforcement was subsequently deployed, enabling the troops to clear the ambush site and conduct further exploitation of the surrounding area.

During the operation, troops discovered and dismantled several makeshift camps assessed to have been used by the terrorists as temporary staging and hideout locations. Items recovered include one motorcycle, bicycles, one magazine, ammunition and rocket-propelled grenade bombs.

There were no casualties among own troops during the encounter. However, some military vehicles sustained damage as a result of the engagement. Notwithstanding the damage, the troops remained operational and successfully completed the mission.

The operation underscores the resolve and fighting spirit of troops of Operation HADIN KAI to deny terrorist elements freedom of action, disrupt their activities and protect communities across the theatre. The general security situation within the area of responsibility remains calm but unpredictable, as troops continue to maintain aggressive patrols and other coordinated security operations to safeguard lives and property.

The military urges members of the public to remain vigilant and promptly report any suspicious movements, persons or activities to the appropriate security agencies. Such timely information remains critical to ongoing efforts to detect, disrupt and neutralise terrorist activities within the theatre.

[/b]TROOPS OF OPERATION FANSAN YAMMA NEUTRALISE TERRORIST, RECOVER FOUR MOTORCYCLES IN KATSINA[b]

Troops of Sector 1, Joint Task Force North West, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, neutralised a terrorist and recovered four motorcycles and other items during a dawn offensive operation in Dan Musa Local Government Area of Katsina State on 4 September 2026.

Acting on credible intelligence regarding the presence of terrorists in the general area of Yantumaki Forest, troops conducted a coordinated offensive against the terrorists. Troops engaged the terrorists with maximum firepower, forcing them to flee into the surrounding bushes.

During exploitation of the area, troops confirmed the neutralisation of one terrorist and recovered four motorcycles, one mobile phone and five empty intravenous drip containers, suspected to have been used in the treatment of wounded terrorists.

The successful operation further demonstrates the unwavering commitment of troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA to sustain pressure on terrorist networks, degrade their operational capabilities and deny them freedom of action across the Joint Operations Area. OPFY urges the general to continue to support security agencies with relevant information to enable the theatre to eradicate terrorists elements within the Joint Operations Area.

It has been a long time any major Nigerian army position was overrun by ISWAP..Great one!!! I hope it is a new pattern not just good luck or a result of the rainy season. I guess the first months of the dry season will finally confirm which one it is. But good one noetheless.

[/b]OPERATION HADIN KAI FOILS TERRORIST ATTACK ON KUKAWA, NEUTRALISES SEVERAL TERRORISTS, DESTROYS MOTORCYCLES
…as Coordinated Ground and Air Operations Interdict Fleeing Terrorists[b]

Troops of the Joint Task Force (North East), Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), have successfully foiled a terrorist attack on Kukawa town, Borno State, neutralising several terrorists and significantly degrading the fighting capability and mobility of the terrorist group through a coordinated ground and air response. At about 2250 hours on 28 August 2026, terrorists launched an attack on troops of 101 Special Forces Battalion deployed at Kukawa. The troops responded swiftly with effective direct and indirect fire, successfully repelling the attack and compelling the terrorists to withdraw towards the Cross Kauwa axis.

During the fierce engagement, several terrorists were neutralised, while others were observed to have sustained gunshot wounds as they fled the area. Subsequent exploitation by troops led to the recovery of terrorist corpses, further confirming casualties inflicted on the terrorists during the encounter. As the terrorists withdrew towards Cross Kauwa on motorcycles, [/b]the Air Component of Operation HADIN KAI was promptly coordinated to interdict their movement. Despite challenging weather conditions, the Air Component successfully engaged terrorists taking cover under trees, neutralising an estimated 10 terrorists[b]

Thereafter, the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) Intelligence, [/b]Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets tracked about 20 motorcycles conveying fleeing terrorists towards the Tunbuns/Kangarwa axis. The intelligence enabled the Air Component to conduct a follow-up precision strike, neutralising an additional 15 terrorists and destroying 10 motorcycles, thereby further degrading the terrorists’ mobility and fighting capability[b]

During subsequent exploitation operations, ground troops recovered 2 motorcycles, neutralised an additional terrorist and recovered assorted ammunition and other items. The coordinated ground and air action effectively disrupted the attack, interdicted the terrorists’ withdrawal and further degraded their ability to regroup or conduct sustained operations within the area.

Following the engagement, troops were immediately replenished by air with essential combat enablers to sustain operational effectiveness and maintain pressure on the terrorists. Four personnel recorded no life threatening injuries during the engagement. [/b]The wounded personnel were promptly evacuated by air for further medical attention and are confirmed to be in stable condition. Troops have since commenced reorganisation and extensive exploitation of the area[b] while battle damage assessment and further evaluation of the encounter are ongoing. The successful defence of Kukawa once again demonstrates Operation HADIN KAI’s capacity to detect, contain and decisively respond to terrorist threats through effective integration of ground forces, air assets and intelligence capabilities. It also underscores the resilience, courage and professionalism of troops operating across the Theatre.

The Joint Task Force (North East), Operation HADIN KAI, remains resolute in sustaining offensive operations, intelligence-led surveillance and coordinated ground and air actions to systematically degrade terrorist capabilities, deny them freedom of action and protect communities across the North East.

[/b]OPHK, ONSA CONDUCT MAJOR OFFENSIVE IN ADAMAWA, DISLODGE BOKO HARAM/ISWAP CAMP, NEUTRALISE SEVERAL TERRORISTS
…as Search and Rescue Operations Intensify[b]

The Joint Task Force (North East), Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), has recorded another significant operational success following a well-coordinated joint offensive against Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists in the Kopre Mountain general area of Hong Local Government Area, Adamawa State, as ongoing search and rescue operations intensify.

Acting on credible intelligence, a joint force comprising the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) Tactical Team and newly inducted troops of 226 Battalion, recently deployed to Sector 4, Adamawa State, under the directive of the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu NAM, conducted a stealth insertion into the target area. Navigating the difficult and rugged terrain, the joint force successfully penetrated the terrorists’ enclave and launched a precision strike on the camp in the early hours of 27 August 2026.

The operation was conducted in furtherance of sustained efforts to locate and rescue victims being held by terrorist elements, including persons abducted from Mussa community in May 2026 and the Lassa school children abducted in June 2026.

During the operation, troops successfully closed in on the terrorist camp and engaged the terrorists in two separate encounters. Following fierce engagements, over 21 terrorists were neutralised, while several others escaped with gunshot wounds. The joint force subsequently dominated the area, dismantled the entire terrorist camp and destroyed associated logistics infrastructure, thereby further degrading the terrorists’ operational capability within the area.

During exploitation of the location, several motorcycles, bicycles and jerrycans containing Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), believed to have been used to support terrorist logistics and mobility, were destroyed in situ. The troops also recovered several AK-47 rifles, AK-47 magazines and a substantial quantity of 7.62mm Special ammunition.

The successful operation underscores the sustained operational tempo, tactical proficiency, intelligence exploitation capability and combat effectiveness of the joint force. It further demonstrates the capacity of troops to project combat power into difficult and restrictive terrain, dismantle terrorist enclaves and deny terrorist elements freedom of action across the Theatre of Operations.

The Military High Command commends the gallantry, professionalism, resilience and seamless coordination displayed by the ONSA Tactical Team and troops of Operation HADIN KAI during the operation. Their decisive action reflects the determination of the Armed Forces and other security stakeholders to relentlessly pursue and degrade terrorist elements wherever they may seek refuge.

The Joint Task Force (North East), Operation HADIN KAI, remains resolute in sustaining aggressive, intelligence-driven operations aimed at locating and rescuing abducted persons, dismantling terrorist strongholds, degrading their logistics and fighting capabilities, and denying them the freedom to operate. The Theatre reassures the public that ongoing operations will be sustained until all abducted persons are located and rescued, while efforts continue towards restoring lasting peace and security across the North East.
