No fewer than 60 terrorists have been killed in a joint land and air operation by troops of Operation Hadin Kai in Bita, Borno State.
The Nigerian Army confirmed the development in a brief statement shared via its official Facebook page on Friday. The coordinated assault reportedly took place in the early hours of the day.
“In a decisive and coordinated operation, gallant troops of Operation Hadin Kai launched a simultaneous land and air assault on terrorist positions in Bita, Borno State,” the statement read. “The intense battle resulted in the neutralization of at least 60 terrorists.”
This operation comes amid increased military offensives against insurgents in the North-East region.
Earlier this week, dozens of Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters were also killed by troops in New Marte, within the Marte Local Government Area of Borno. However, the Army confirmed that two soldiers lost their lives in the encounter.
