Nigerian Air Force (NAF) jets have destroyed hospitals and other healthcare facilities in the Sambisa forest, where wounded and ailing terrorists and their family members are being treated.
The air component of Operation Hadin Kai reportedly destroyed the hospital in the ‘Somalia’ area of the forest after receiving credible intelligence.
A military source said, “The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) aircraft…struck a target at Somalia in Sambisa Forest suspected to be a terrorists’ hospital and health care facility on 9 September 2022. Somalia, a location near Sambisa Forest, was believed to be where the terrorists have a medical facility where wounded fighters as well as those critically ill were treated.”
“After the airstrikes, several structures were observed destroyed and numerous terrorists neutralised,” the source said.
Air interdiction missions were also carried out at Abdallari, a terrorist enclave located Northeast of Maiduguri on 10 September 2022. Several terrorists were neutralised, and structures destroyed after the strike, hence degrading their capacity to attack troops.”
