Air Force Bombs Boko Haram Vehicles, Kills Insurgents In Borno by Nwaforj44: 6:34pm On Sep 16, 2018 |
The Nigerian Air Force announced on Sunday that scores of Boko Haram members were killed, while their vehicles were destroyed through air strikes as the insurgents regrouped to attack the locations of troops within Damasak and Gudumbali in Borno state. The NAF Director of Public Relations and Information Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola said in a statement issued in Abuja that the air strikes were conducted after the Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance platforms have established the presence of the insurgents in the areas. Air Commodore Daramola said: “The Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE, over the night of 14 September and early morning of 15 September 2018, tracked and destroyed some Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT) vehicles as they were attempting to launch fresh attacks on ground troops locations at Gudumbali and Damasak in Borno State. ” The mission was initiated following intelligence reports indicating that a convoy of BHT vehicles had been sighted within the Damasak – Gudumbali Axis. Accordingly, a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) platform was dispatched to search for and locate the convoy of vehicles. “The ISR aircraft spotted vehicles at a location 24 Km SW of Gudumbali heading in a Northwards direction. Consequently, a helicopter gunship was scrambled to attack the convoy. “The helicopter arrived the location and was vectored to the position of the vehicles, which, at the time, were about midway between Nigerian Army (NA) locations at Metele and Arege. Following communications with ground troops, the BHT vehicles were positively identified, isolated and attacked by the helicopter gunship in successive strikes. ” In the process, 4 of the vehicles were immobilized and their occupants neutralized. The ISR aircraft continued to track the remaining 5 vehicles, which initially dispersed but later regrouped and continued their retreat to Tumbun Rego. They were subsequently attacked at their harbour location by the freshly rearmed helicopter gunship; with 3 direct hits recorded on the vehicles. “A follow-up attack on the newly discovered insurgents’ logistics base in Tumbun Rego was conducted by 2 Alpha Jet aircraft later in the morning today. The makeshift buildings and other facilities in the base were accordingly destroyed in the air strike. The NAF, working in concert with surface forces, will sustain the momentum of operations with a view to destroying vestiges of the insurgents in the Lake Chad green fringes and other areas in Northern Borno.” http://www.akelicious.net/2018/09/air-force-bombs-boko-haram-vehicles.html
