Nigerian military sources say Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) carries out air and ground actions that kill more than 18 terrorists and destroy logistics hubs in Borno State. The reports describe an air “interdiction operation” supported by intelligence, ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance), and ground troops, disrupting what the military calls insurgents’ support and movement.
According to the outlets, the operations take place in and around a targeted enclave described as a logistics base, including an area referred to as Tumbunma Baba. Legit.ng and Premium Times both attribute the results to the air component of OPHK, while emphasizing the broader use of intelligence and coordinated ground activities. One account frames the action as part of weeks of military intelligence gathering before strikes.
The sources largely agree on the overall outcome—casualties inflicted on terrorists and destruction of logistics infrastructure in Borno—though they do not provide additional independent verification, detailed casualty breakdowns, or specific figures beyond “over 18.”
