The Nigerian Air Force has launched a new round of bombardments on Boko Haram enclave of Sambissa forest code-named ‘OPERATION FOREST STORM’.
Group Captain, Director of Public Relations and Information, Ayodele Famuyiwa in a statement on Tuesday said “the new phase of offensive air operations was aimed at further degrading the capabilities of the Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT) in the Sambissa general area, with a view to restrict the freedom of action of the insurgents as well as neutralize any threat posed to movement of own ground forces in continuing with their rescue operations.
“The operation, which commenced about days days ago is expected to last few days. During this period, the NAF would be conducting series of air interdictions to take out a number of carefully selected targets in the Sambisa Forest.”
