Troops under Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) have eliminated three Boko Haram fighters during a clearance operation in Borno Yesu, near Magumeri LGA of Borno State.
Gatekeepers News reports that the mission, which took place in Bulabulin Forest, involved a joint team comprising Sector Two troops, Nigerian Air Force personnel, Special Forces, and members of the Civilian Joint Task Force.
During the operation, the soldiers engaged the terrorists in a gun battle, resulting in the deaths of three militants, while others fled the scene with gunshot wounds.
The troops, operating under aerial surveillance and support, recovered several items from the area, including two new motorcycles, AK-47 rifles, four loaded magazines, 120 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, grenades, bandoliers, and combat gear.
Sector Two, which oversees parts of Borno and Yobe States, has maintained persistent patrols and offensives around the Timbuktu Triangle which is a notorious terrorist stronghold.
The continued military campaign is gradually reclaiming areas once overrun by insurgents and restoring security to previously devastated communities like Borno Yesu.
