Troops of Operation Hadin Kai neutralized a terrorist leader, his cameraman, and several insurgents during a repelled assault on a military base in Borno State.
The coordinated attack by Boko Haram or ISWAP fighters was thwarted through decisive ground action, continuing the military's push against Northeast insurgencies amid recent drone threats and ambushes.
No troop casualties were reported in this clash, boosting morale as the army sustains operations against groups responsible for thousands of deaths since 2009.
