Multiple reports say a Nigerian military drone strike kills at least 15 suspected ISWAP fighters in Marte Local Government Area of Borno State. The attack is described as part of an intelligence-led operation targeting suspected members of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP). One account cites information shared by regional counter-insurgency analyst Zagazola Makama, who says the strike occurred in Marte and resulted in the deaths of the suspected militants. The coverage characterizes the incident as a setback for ISWAP’s operational capacity in the area. Both sources present the same core details: the use of a military drone, the location in Marte LGA within Borno, the approximate number of fatalities (reported as 15), and that the victims are suspected ISWAP members. Neither source provides additional verification details such as official statements from the Nigerian military, names of those killed, or information on casualties among civilians or security personnel. No further information about subsequent operations or immediate security impacts is included in the provided excerpts.
