Nigeria’s Airforce (NAF) claimed that its fighter aircraft struck and destroyed a logistics base used by the Boko Haram insurgents in Kangarawa, Northern part of Borno late on Monday.
This was contained in a press release issued by the Director of Public Relations and Information, Group Capt. Ayodele Famuyiwa on Wednesday.
He said, “the NAF, in continuation of its employment of airpower to decimate the capability of the insurgents, has successfully taken off another logistics belonging to the insurgents.
“The latest air strike was carried out on April 11 by NAF F7-NI Fighter Aircraft against the insurgents,” it said.
According to the statement, the scale of accompanying inferno and multi explosions as can be seen from the footage of the air strike, suggested that the location possibly houses fuel or ammunition.
It further noted that the strike constituted another major setback for the insurgents while providing tangible evidence of many of the recent successes recorded by the Air component of Operation Lafia Dole.
