The Nigerian Air Force conducted precision airstrikes on an ISWAP stronghold in the Lake Chad region of northeast Nigeria, destroying the enclave and killing dozens of militants, according to Nigerian military sources.
This is the first bulletin covering a Nigerian Air Force operation in the Lake Chad theater. ISWAP, an Islamic State-affiliate active in the Lake Chad basin, has been the target of repeated Nigerian and multinational counterterrorism operations in recent years. The strike was described as a precision attack on a militant enclave, with dozens reported killed. No further details on the specific target, timing, or collateral damage are yet available, and the report originates from a single channel citing Nigerian military sources. The Lake Chad region straddles Nigeria, Niger, Chad, and Cameroon, and has been a focal point of the jihadist insurgency since Boko Haram's rise. ISWAP split from Boko Haram in 2016 and has since become the dominant militant group in the area.
