This was disclosed in a statement by the NAF Director Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Olusola Akinboyewa.

He said the Air Component of Operation Fansan Yamma executed further air interdiction missions in Zamfara State on Friday, November 15.

The airstrikes targeted a large assembly of bandits in Babban Kauye village, situated in Tsafe Local Government Area of the north-western state.

Akinboyewa noted that intelligence sources revealed that the congregation of criminals were perfecting plans for coordinated attacks against military personnel and civilians along the Tsafe axis.

“Upon receiving credible intelligence, the NAF launched a series of devastating airstrikes, inflicting significant casualties on the criminal elements,” he said.

“Reports from the ground confirmed the successful elimination of numerous high-ranking members of the bandit groups, dealing a severe blow to their operational capacity.”

He said Tsafe Local Government Area has long been a flashpoint for bandit activities, with factions loyal to Dan-Isuhu and Dogo Sule notorious for orchestrating violent assaults on local communities, security forces, and vital infrastructure.

To the Air Force spokesman, terrorist groups have utilized remote settlements like Babban Kauye as strategic safe havens, from which they coordinate and execute their nefarious operations.
