In a decisive blow to insurgents, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has conducted a precision airstrike on an Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) enclave in Jubillaram, Lake Chad, killing scores of terrorists and crippling their logistics.
According to intelligence sources, the operation-executed by the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) on March 20, 2025, at 17:25 hours-targeted key terrorist infrastructure following credible intelligence on their activities in the area.
The air interdiction successfully destroyed multiple ISWAP structures and supply caches, dealing a significant setback to the group's operational capabilities. The strike was part of a broader strategy to weaken ISWAP's influence, disrupt their supply chains, and support ongoing ground operations under Operation Lake Sanity and Desert Sanity 4.
Jubillaram has long served as a staging ground for ISWAP attacks on security forces and civilian communities. This latest offensive underscores the Nigerian military's commitment to dismantling terrorist networks in the Lake Chad region.
