On November 23, 2024, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) launched a successful airstrike on a terrorist stronghold in the Tumbuns area of Lake Chad. The operation, part of the ongoing Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK), targeted a key food depot and sanctuary for terrorist fighters. The attack was the result of extensive intelligence gathering and surveillance, which linked the location to recent attacks, including one on Nigerian troops in Kareto.
NAF fighter jets conducted precision air interdictions, destroying storage facilities and neutralizing multiple terrorists at the site. The strike disrupted the terrorists’ logistical operations, cutting off vital supplies and diminishing their capacity for future assaults. Additionally, a mop-up operation with cannons ensured the elimination of any fleeing terrorists.
This operation was part of a broader strategy to degrade terrorist activities in the Lake Chad Basin, with the NAF emphasizing its commitment to safeguarding Nigeria’s national security. The successful mission highlights the importance of intelligence-driven operations in counterterrorism efforts, reinforcing the military's determination to bring terrorists to justice and protect Nigerian citizens.
