The publication said the operation “resulted in the deaths of numerous ISWAP militants, with estimates suggesting that the casualty count may be in the dozens.”
Makama added: “The air strikes in Malam Fatori were not just a standalone effort; they were part of a broader strategy in Operation Hadin Kai aimed at restoring security in northeastern Nigeria.
“Ground forces, backed by the aerial campaign, have been actively engaging ISWAP elements, and air superiority has proven vital in these operations.”
