Officers and men of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) had successfully coordinated a repulsion of a large column of Boko Haram insurgents that attempted to advance at Kukawa township.
Bouyed by recent attack on Kareto of 16 Nov, 2024, the enemy assumed they could attack other locations and get away without response. The terrorists came to Kukawa riding on motorcycles, clad with assault rifles and RPGs. Cursory to the military’s onslaught, the insurgents attacked from the main Gudumbali axis gate and crossed defensive trenches.
Working on actionable intelligence, gallant troops of 19 Brigade Cross Kauwa and 403 Amphibious Brigade Baga mobilised to counter the attack.
The Nigerian Air Force provided close air support in a well-coordinated and efficient manner.
It said: “Interim battle impact assessment revealed that many of the insurgents were killed. Our gallant troops and CJTF were able to confiscate a significant number of motor bikes and vehicles while inflicting fatal harm on the insurgents.”
Governor Zulum was also informed on a sad note that troops encountered a small casualty as two CJTF personnel were injured; 4 Nigerian Army fatalities, and one civilian, Masa Mallam Abba Zaraye, was also struck by a stray bullet.
Governor Zulum conveyed salutations to gallant troops over the spectacular success.
He also thanked the federal government under the distinguished leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for providing strategic leadership, direction and support to the armed forces to perform their constitutional duty of defending the country.
Governor Zulum also reportedly expressed heartfelt sympathy to those who lost their lives or incurred injury.
He cautioned that in spite of this success, gallant troops should be guided by the rules of engagement in assymetric battle.
“Indeed, the Nigerian Armed Forces’ efforts are admirable, but I hasten to admonish our troops to be vigilant and not to be carried away by this momentary success. They should watch out for retaliatory attack by the insurgents, and respond with decisive force.” Governor Zulum said.…READ THE FULL STORY FROM SOURCE : …READ THE FULL STORY FROM SOURCE
