The Nigerian Air Force said it has eliminated several terrorists and destroyed their facilities in air strikes around Biramiri in the Gezuwa general area in Sambisa Forest axis Borno state.

A statement by the Director of Public Relations and information Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame indicates that the strikes followed credible Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance reports, then the NAF Air Assets on 26 May 2026 executed precision strikes on the identified terrorist hideouts and support structures.

The statement indicated that the coordinated attacks destroyed key terrorist facilities further crippling the operational capacity of the insurgents.

“The intensity and precision of the ongoing air offensives have continued to generate fear and confusion among terrorist elements across the Sambisa axis.

“Intelligence assessments indicate growing apprehension and disorientation within the ranks of the terrorists as sustained bombardments deny them freedom of movement and safe havens,” Ejodame said.

He added that NAF, in synergy with troops of Operation HADIN KAI and other security agencies, remains resolute in maintaining relentless pressure on terrorist networks while reinforcing its commitment to protecting innocent lives and restoring lasting peace and security across the North-East.
