An attack aircraft of the Nigerian Air Force has bombed Bula Korege area of Borno State on the fringes of Sambisa Forest, where Boko Haram terrorists were holding a meeting.
The strikes, which were coordinated by the Air Task Force of Operation Lafiya Dole, reportedly killed scores of the terrorists.
The Airforce said on Monday that the insurgents were attacked on Saturday, following “successive days of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions, coupled with human intelligence reports.”
The military surveillance found some buildings within the settlement used as logistics base from where the insurgents launched attacks against troops of the Nigerian Army and civilians.
