Members of the Nigerian Army’s Operation Hadin Kai have killed several terrorists and recovered weapons following a successful operation to foil attacks on two military bases in Borno State.

The military engagement took place in Borno State, a region in northeastern Nigeria that has been a focal point for counter-insurgency efforts against armed groups. The operation was conducted by troops specifically assigned to Operation Hadin Kai, which is tasked with securing the area and neutralizing security threats.

According to the available information, the soldiers intervened to prevent the terrorists from carrying out their planned assaults on the two designated military installations. The intervention resulted in the death of the attackers and the seizure of their equipment.

While specific details regarding the number of casualties or the exact types of weapons recovered were not provided in the initial report, the military confirmed the recovery of arms from the scene of the engagement.

Borno State remains a critical area for national security operations, with the military maintaining a persistent presence to safeguard infrastructure and personnel from insurgent activities.
