Breaking News: Nigerian Air Force Reportedly Kills 750 Terrorists in Borno State
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is reported to have carried out a massive precision airstrike operation in Borno State earlier today, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 750 terrorists operating within the region.
According to military sources, the air interdiction mission was executed following detailed intelligence gathering and surveillance, which identified a large concentration of insurgents believed to be members of extremist groups active in the Northeast. The strike targeted fortified hideouts and assembly points located deep within hostile territory.
The operation forms part of the ongoing counter-insurgency campaign under Operation Hadin Kai, aimed at dismantling terrorist networks, degrading their fighting capacity, and preventing attacks on both military formations and civilian communities.
The Nigerian Air Force has, in recent months, intensified the use of precision air power to neutralise insurgent leadership, logistics hubs, and training camps across Borno and neighbouring states.
Although official confirmation from Defence Headquarters is still being awaited, the scale of the reported casualties, if verified, would mark one of the deadliest single-day air operations in the long-running war against insurgency in the Northeast.
Military analysts note that such operations are designed to weaken terrorist morale and disrupt coordinated attacks planned against security forces and local populations.
Residents in nearby areas reported hearing loud explosions in the early hours of the day, suggesting sustained aerial engagement. Authorities have assured that efforts are continually made to minimise civilian casualties through the use of accurate intelligence and precision-guided munitions.
As details continue to emerge, Nigerians await an official statement from the military to confirm the outcome of the operation and provide further clarity on its impact.
The development comes amid renewed efforts by security forces to restore peace and stability to communities affected by years of insurgency.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
