Operations by the air and ground components of Operation Hadin Kai to clear the Northeast of remnants of terrorists in the Northeast region of Nigeria have continued to achieve a series of successes. One such operation took place on 5 January 2024 at Parisu after terrorists were observed, for several days, moving items suspected to be weapons and ammunition to the area. Parisu, a location near Sambisa Forest, was once a terrorist enclave deserted after our troops had cleared the area of terrorist activities.
However, the convergence of terrorists within the location raised suspicions of their intent and plan, leading to the decision to strike the location.
The aftermath of the strikes resulted in a substantial ball of flames from two adjacent spots within the vicinity, while some surviving terrorists were seen fleeing for safety. Feedback also indicated that 12 terrorists were neutralised in the strike, and their logistics destroyed, thereby degrading their ability to attack soft targets and our troops.
Similar strikes were also conducted at a location approximately 1.5 km southwest of Tumbun Agiri within the Tumbuns in the Lake Chad region on 6 January 2024. Intelligence gathered over time had revealed the continuous gathering of armed terrorists in pick-up vehicles and motorcycles, prompting the decision to attack the location.

The precision strikes on the location led to the destruction of the vehicles, motorcycles, as well as the elimination of several terrorists.
Prior to the aforementioned strikes, the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai, on an air reconnaissance mission on 2 January 2024, had targeted some opportunity targets at Tumbun Alura.
The targets, consisting of three canoes, were observed loaded with suspected Premium Motor Spirit (PMS). They were subsequently engaged, with a substantial explosion observed afterward. Similar successful strikes were also conducted at Tumbun Buwari and Sabon Tumbun on terrorist structures within the Lake Chad region.
