The Nigerian Navy says it destroys a hideout allegedly used by suspected militants in Ine Ikoridung, a coastal settlement in Cross River State. According to reports, the operation follows intelligence that the militants relocated to the community after pressure from security forces. The Navy Ship (NNS) Victory is reported to have sent gunboats to the area, where personnel cordon off the settlement before conducting a search of huts identified through the intelligence. Vanguard and Premium Times both describe the action as targeting premises linked to militant activity in the coastal community. Both outlets present the operation as part of ongoing efforts to address attacks and insecurity in Nigeria’s coastal regions. Neither report provides independent verification of the militants’ identities or the specific outcomes beyond the destruction of the hideout and the search of the identified structures. The reports also do not give details on casualties or arrests in the excerpted accounts.
