bidex111: NIGERIAN AIR FORCE FIGHTER PLATFORMS NEUTRALIZE SCORES OF BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS IN YUWE
The Air Task Force of Operation LAFIYA DOLE, on 28 April 2018, neutralized scores of Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) at YUWE in Borno State through successful air strikes. The mission was conducted following intelligence report that BHTs fighters were hibernating in the settlement. Consequently, the ATF detailed Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Alpha Jet aircraft and one Mi-35 Helicopter gunship to conduct Air Interdiction on the BHT location in 2 waves. Overhead the location, the NAF fighter aircraft acquired and attacked the terrorists in the settlement with bombs, rockets and canons while a NAF Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) conducted Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) of the mission. The BDA revealed that at the end of the attack, some of the buildings in the location were successfully destroyed and engulfed in fire while the occupying terrorists were neutralized. Thereafter, some of the terrorists that survived were seen scampering for safety, with various degrees of wounds. The fighter aircraft then attacked the fleeing BHTs in subsequent waves of attack. .

But shekau faction in the madara Mt & Sambisa may return to hostilities, the theater commander has said his troops are waiting for green light to begin offensive
Saudi Arabia has made a donation of $10 million to Nigeria government and the military. The fund is to assist the Nigerian government in the fight against Boko Haram.
Seems security at that location was very poor. Few soldiers because it seemed like an easy ops for BHT.
Seems like coordinated attack on two institutions the military and INGos It's quite surprising to see them attack INGOs considering the nature of these INGos n how the see they refer to d insurgents
