The Nigerian Army troops of Operation Hadin Kai and its Air Component have repelled a coordinated attack by Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists on Damboa town, killing 16 insurgents in a fierce overnight battle.

This was made known in a post on X by Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert focused on the Lake Chad region, disclosing that the attack occurred at about 1:00 a.m. on Thursday, when the terrorists simultaneously targeted the Azir Bridge axis and the 25 Task Force Brigade location in Damboa.

Damboa, located in southern part of Borno, has been a frequent target of ISWAP attacks due to its strategic location.

Makama said he was informed by intelligence sources that the troops, ed by indirect fire and air interdictions from the Air Component Command, engaged the terrorists in a sustained firefight that lasted over two hours.

“The main thrust of the terrorists was the brigade location in Damboa, where they attacked en masse. However, the troops responded decisively with heavy firepower, leading to a significant number of enemy casualties,” one of the sources said.

“At least 16 bodies of the terrorists were recovered after the exchange, with several others believed to have fled with gunshot wounds. Unfortunately, two soldiers paid the supreme price during the gun battle with the terrorists,” the security expert said.

Makama also said sources confirmed that while the troops were able to bring the situation under control, an explosion from one of the terrorists’ projectiles caused a fire at an ammunition storage facility, which caused impact to two structures. The fire was promptly contained.

He added that pursuit operations are currently ongoing to track down fleeing terrorists, while clearance operations continue around the general area.

More love and prayers for our gallant soldiers.



-Kiss the truth!

The ‘new Nigerianists’ will be very sad with this development

May the Lord God continue to protects these innocent Nigeria armies putting their lives on the line, because some of your so called colleagues and your bosses (polithievians) are moles.

Na lie...audio killings
That was how they claimed to have killed shakua, ND it turned out they didn't kill him. 4 separate times. Why should an average Nigerian believe this one

God be with you soldiers.

Take the battle to them and wipe them all off.

Death to all terrorists!

Good one Gallant men of Valor.

this report are unnecessary let the job done prove it self

Good for them

I love it so much when our Security forces gain an upper hand over bandits and terrorists.

Unfortunately this only happens once in a while.

So sad.

Kudos to our gallant soldiers,more power to your elbow in Jesus name.

suyarize the rag heads

Where is their dead bodies

We want all the terrorists dead!
But let's see pics or videos of the dead beasts, the manner Israeli Soldiers show terrorists bodies.

Where foto?

The air force should be able to mobilise quickly and pursue and bomb these terrorists.

Everytime we keep reading about pursuit operations with no result. If there was any pursuit operations, you guys would have known and overrun their base by now.

Kudos to them!!
May God guide and protect our soldiers more. May He reveal and eliminate the saboteur within their ranks and externally to keep them safe and motivated for victory. Amen.

We need to pray and speak positively into the lives of those who work hard to protect us. Highlighting their shortcomings alone will not yield good results.

Pinshures or na lie..

Video 📹 🎥 or na lie..

no video? =audio 🔉.

It has become a template at this point.
Boko Haram or ISWAP always on the offensive attacking Nigerian army formations wth the army repelling these attacks sometimes. You will never read where the Nigerian army is the one attacking these guys or being on the offensive.

The thing worth considering is this. Since the pattern has emerged that these attacks normally occur under the cover of darkness, what actions have the Nigerian army deployed to ensure its night fighting capabilities are enhanced? We must always be a step ahead of these guys. I will hate for our men and soldiers to pay the supreme price for something available technology could have handled.

Drones equipped with Infrared cameras and night vision capabilities have to be made available to our units in large numbers. This is a game changer in and of itself.

Kudos to the officers and men of the army.

Okay

This is good to hear. We need to hear more success from an offensive point of view and not defensive as always. How about reading a headline like, 'Nigerian military overrun terrorists camps' at least once a month

Where do these terrorists always retreat to after carrying out attacks?

While the terrorists aim is to destroy Nigerian soldiers, Nigerian Army aim is to arrest and rehabilitate the terrorists. Raise and repeat.
