Nigerian security forces report a series of counter-terrorism operations in the North-West and wider region, resulting in rescues of kidnapped people and arrests of suspected terrorists and collaborators. Multiple outlets say troops acted on intelligence and distress calls, responding to reported attacks and abduction attempts in states including Zamfara, Kaduna, Sokoto, Borno, and Kogi.

In Zamfara, reporting describes several separate incidents tied to Operation FANSAN YAMMA. Vanguard and other outlets cite rescues ranging from 11 to 27 victims, and in one account, troops neutralise five suspected terrorists during a gun battle along the Gambada–Gummi–Sokoto road, where abducted persons are found abandoned. Other reports add that troops recover items such as motorcycles and livestock during operations.

In Kaduna and Sokoto, The Punch says troops rescue a kidnap victim and foil a planned terrorist attack. Across the broader campaign, Vanguard reports arrests involving suspected Lakurawa members in Zamfara and other suspects—including logistics suppliers and drug peddlers—in coordinated operations spanning Borno, Zamfara, and Kogi. Exact totals vary by operation and day.
