Over 40 ISWAP Terrorists Killed In Fresh Borno Air Strike
Military officials said the strike destroyed two vehicles and about 20 motorcycles, disrupting planned attacks on troops and nearby communities.
- On Saturday, October 10, 2026, the Air Component of the Joint Task Force North East killed over 40 Islamic State West Africa Province fighters, including a prominent commander, in a precision airstrike at Badu Village, Borno State.
- Military officials launched the intelligence-led operation after credible reports indicated ISWAP fighters were gathering to prepare coordinated attacks on troops operating within Sector 3's area of responsibility.
- The strike destroyed two vehicles and approximately 20 motorcycles used by the Murabitun element, a specialized mobile fighting unit responsible for patrols and coordinated attacks; battle damage assessments remain ongoing.
- Military Information Officer Captain Mohammed Goni said on Monday, "Acting swiftly on the intelligence, the Air Component conducted targeted aerial surveillance, identified terrorist movements around suspected hideouts and logistics facilities, and subsequently executed a precision strike."
- The operation significantly degrades ISWAP's fighting capability and disrupts planned attacks on military positions and communities, as the Joint Task Force North East remains committed to sustained coordinated operations to restore stability across the region.
