The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), under Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), has successfully foiled a terrorist assault on troops in Rann, Borno State.
This took place in the early hours of 8 August, 2025 through coordinated Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and Air Interdiction (AI) missions.
Acting on credible intelligence, the OPHK Air Component established contact with ground forces, identified clusters of fleeing insurgents, and engaged them with precision munitions, neutralising several in the process.
According to a statement by Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame,
Director of Public Relations and Information, and made available to Security Watch Africa (SWA), the swift and decisive action restored calm to the area, underscoring the NAF’s unwavering commitment to providing close air support, safeguarding troops, and rapidly neutralising insurgent threats.
