The air component of Operation Hadin Kai has destroyed suspected Improvised Explosive Device (IED) factory in Grazah, Mandara Mountains of Borno State.
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Vice Marshal Edward Gabkwet, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday in Maiduguri.
He said two gun trucks were also destroyed while several terrorists were killed in operation carried out on August 2.
The operation, according to him, was in response to intelligence reports of a possible IED factory and logistics storage area in the location.
Gabkwet said that the factory was believed to have been relocated from Gwoza to Timbuktu Triangle in Sambisa forest and finally to Grazah in the Mandara hills.
He added that the location had been under surveillance for weeks with various installations and armed terrorist activities observed.
The spokesman said: “The operation is part of the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai’s mandate to combat recent attacks on innocent civilians in Borno, using IEDs and suicide bombers.
“The NAF has assured that the combined efforts of the entire security apparatus of Operation Hadin Kai will continue to target and destroy terrorist enclaves and logistics.”
