Troops of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) have neutralised eight terrorists during a clearance operation in Kayamla and Sojiri villages in Borno State, military sources have confirmed.
Zagazola report that the operation, codenamed Desert Sanity V, involved coordinated patrols and clearance missions targeting insurgents of the Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad (JAS/ISWAP) who were reportedly hibernating in the axis.
The troops, working closely with Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) personnel, engaged the terrorists in a well-coordinated gun battle, resulting in the neutralisation of eight insurgents. Others reportedly fled, leaving behind guns and personal weapons, including AK-47 rifles.
The sources confirmed that there were no casualties or injuries among the troops, and operational equipment was not damaged during the engagement.
The patrol team continues to conduct operations in surrounding enclaves to prevent insurgent regrouping.
