Nigerian troops have repelled two separate attacks by ISWAP militants in Borno State. Operation HADIN KAI forces defended a community and a humanitarian convoy. They recovered improvised explosive devices and a communication device. No civilian casualties were reported in either incident.
ISWAP continues to target military formations and aid routes in the North-East. The group uses command-detonated IEDs and coordinated ambush tactics. Boko Haram and ISWAP have terrorised the region for fifteen years. Thousands of civilians have died in the insurgency. Millions more have been displaced from their homes. Nigerian forces have maintained offensive operations against the militants. The army has killed several commanders in recent raids. Air strikes have destroyed militant camps in the Sambisa Forest. However, the insurgents still launch sporadic attacks. The conflict remains one of Africa's deadliest.
The recovered items are in military custody for intelligence analysis. Troops remain committed to protecting vulnerable communities. The operations aim to degrade militant capabilities across the theatre. Army spokespersons say morale remains high among soldiers. Recent operations have cleared several insurgent hideouts. Humanitarian agencies continue delivering aid under military escort. The government is working with regional partners on counter-terrorism. Chad and Niger have also stepped up border patrols. Civilian Joint Task Force members assist troops with local intelligence. The military promises sustained pressure until the threat is eliminated.
