The bombardment targeted the remnants of Boko Haram and Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists in northeast of Nigeria, under the Operation Green Sweep 3, aimed at identifying and destroying terrorists’ positions in the troubled Borno state.

The statement added that the structures housing the command centre were destroyed in the air strikes while several of the terrorists were killed.

The Nigerian Air Force vowed to intensify the operations against the terrorists in the northeast in collaboration with the ground forces.
