Fresh battle damage assessment (BDA) from Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) has confirmed that more than 20 ISWAP fighters were neutralised in a precision drone strike conducted by the Air Component of the operation at Kila Bariya in the Southern Lake Chad axis.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that the precision strike, carried out on July 21, targeted a key terrorist logistics and assembly point following credible intelligence on the presence of fighters and strategic supplies in the area.
According to the latest assessment, several other terrorists sustained severe injuries, while over 30 newly acquired motorcycles, most of them brand new and intended for future terrorist operations, were destroyed in the strike.
The assessment further revealed that the operation destroyed a major ISWAP food storage facility stocked with large quantities of beans and other food items allegedly confiscated or forcibly collected from farming communities across the Southern Lake Chad region.
