1. As
part of the collective effort by the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) to
expeditiously bring to an end the war against insurgency in the
Northeast, Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Alpha Jet aircraft successfully
attacked suspected Boko Haram Logistics Base at Allagarno on Friday, 18
March 2016. The target was selected after careful Intelligence,
Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) by NAF Unmanned Combat Aerial
Vehicle (UCAV).
2. The
mission, which was carried out in support of surface forces in order to
further degrade the fighting capacity of the remnants of the
insurgents, was successful as can be seen in the video of the
Battlefield Damage Assessment (BDA) carried out by the UCAV. The target
was probably an ammunition depot, a fuel dump or a facility housing
other combustible materials. This effort is likely to create certain
logistics constraints for the terrorists along the Allagarno axis. This
is a follow-up to other interdiction missions previously carried out in
Sambisa Forest, Kumshe, Iza and other suspected terrorists’ hide-outs.
So far, the NAF has carried out a total of 55 missions comprising 14
ISR, 30 interdiction/combat air support and 11 air logistics support
missions in the month of March 2016.
