The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) said air components supporting ongoing military operations conducted successful strikes on terrorist locations in the North East and South East, destroying logistics facilities and neutralising several fighters.
Major General Michael Onoja, Director of Defence Media Operations, disclosed this in a statement on Friday while presenting the weekly military operations update.
He explained that air interdiction missions conducted on 19 November 2025 targeted terrorist storage facilities in the Sambisa general area of Borno State.

The strikes, he said, followed intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions that identified movements and stockpiles within the forest.
He said the aircraft engaged the locations with rockets and bombs in multiple runs, resulting in the destruction of the facilities and neutralisation of several insurgents.
In the North West, he noted that air missions provided support to ground operations in Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto, Niger and Kwara states, with a major strike carried out on a terrorist enclave at Pauwa Hill in Kankara LGA of Katsina State.
Similarly, in the South East, the air component of Operation Udo Ka struck a terrorist hideout in Ezeagu LGA of Enugu State on 18 November.
Onoja said the aftermath of the mission showed that the camp and its logistics were destroyed.
He said the air operations were conducted in support of ongoing clearance operations aimed at degrading criminal groups across the country.
Onoja called on residents to continue volunteering credible intelligence to support ongoing military efforts.
