NAF airstrikes hit terrorists at Abbagajiri as ground troops move into Timbuktu Triangle

The Nigerian Air Force has carried out fresh precision airstrikes on terrorist hideouts at Abbagajiri in the notorious Timbuktu Triangle area of Borno State. The operation was conducted under Operation Hadin Kai as part of wider joint efforts to weaken insurgent networks in the North East.​ According to military sources, the strikes followed reliable multi source intelligence that confirmed active terrorist presence, fortified structures and hidden logistics hubs in the area. Identified buildings used for planning attacks and storing weapons were decisively engaged and destroyed, denying the terrorists freedom of movement.​ Post strike assessments showed that several fighters were neutralised as they tried to flee or regroup after the initial bombardment.

NAF denies espionage claims over C-130 landing in Burkina Faso

The Nigerian Air Force has rejected reports that its C-130 transport aircraft currently in Burkina Faso was engaged in espionage or was forced to land by Burkinabe authorities. In a detailed clarification, NAF described the claims circulating online as false, misleading and capable of inflaming public sentiment and straining regional relations.​ According to the statement, the C-130 was on a duly approved ferry flight from Lagos to Portugal for scheduled depot maintenance when the crew observed a technical issue on 8 December 2025.

NAF aircraft in Burkina Faso was on ferry mission, not covert operation

A senior Nigerian military source has dismissed claims that a Nigerian Air Force aircraft was on a clandestine mission in Burkina Faso. The source explained that the C-130 transport plane was on a scheduled ferry mission to Portugal when it made an emergency diversion to Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, after the crew noticed a technical issue.​ According to the source, the diversion followed standard aviation safety procedures and was not linked to any combat, intelligence, or political operation in Burkina Faso or the wider Sahel region. The aircraft reportedly headed to the nearest suitable airfield to ensure the safety of the crew and passengers, in line with international aviation protocols.​ The Nigerian Air Force has also clarified in earlier statements that Burkina Faso did not ground the aircraft but received it after the precautionary landing.

NAF airstrikes crush terror cells in Katsina, foil ISWAP attack in Borno

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) says its fighter jets have destroyed key terror cells in Katsina State and helped to repel a coordinated Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP)/Boko Haram attack in Borno.

NAF Airstrikes Kill Terrorists, Bandits Across Borno, Kwara, Katsina, and More

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has intensified counter-terrorism and anti-bandit campaigns across the country, launching precision airstrikes that killed scores of ISWAP terrorists at Mallam Fatori and Shuwaram in Borno State. Strikes also destroyed bandit camps in Garin Dandi and Chigogo (Kwara) and Zango Hill (Kankara, Katsina).
