By: Zagazola Makama
Troops of the Nigerian Army, in collaboration with hybrid forces and members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), have destroyed terrorist camps during an offensive operation in Sambisa Forest, Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.
Military sources disclosed that the operation was carried out at about 8:26 a.m. on June 19 by troops of the 26 Task Force Brigade Garrison.
According to the sources, the joint security team conducted the offensive operation within the Sambisa Forest axis, targeting known terrorist hideouts in the area.
During the operation, troops made contact with suspected ISWAP terrorists at Disa and Balangaje villages. However, the insurgents reportedly fled upon sighting the advancing troops.
Following the encounter, the troops destroyed terrorist camps as well as logistical support structures believed to be used by the insurgents for shelter and coordination of activities.
Military authorities said the operation was part of sustained efforts to deny terrorist groups freedom of action and dismantle their infrastructure within the Sambisa Forest axis.
No casualty was recorded among troops during the operation, while clearance operations in the general area are ongoing.
