Friday, October 30, 2026 - Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have reportedly killed 15 terrorists, including two ISWAP commanders, in air strikes that destroyed a suspected IED logistics hideout in Marte Local Government Area of Borno State.
The operation took place around 9:20 p.m. on October 28,
2026, near Kerenoa, following intelligence reports about terrorist activities
in the area.
According to security analyst Zagazola Makama, the military
said surveillance detected two suspected terrorists riding a motorcycle to a
makeshift structure before further monitoring revealed the presence of
additional fighters.
The military said precision strikes were subsequently
launched against the location, with a battle damage assessment indicating that
15 terrorists had been neutralised and structures destroyed.
The two commanders identified among those killed were Abu
Musanna and Hassan Abu Huraira, described by the military as prominent ISWAP
figures.
Several other fighters were reportedly wounded, including
the ISWAP Wali, or governor, of the area, who was said to have sustained
critical injuries.
The military added that a secondary fire observed after the
strikes suggested the structure may have been used to store improvised
explosive device materials.
