The Nigerian Air Force conducted a series of precision airstrikes on Saturday morning targeting suspected jihadist militants near the country's northeastern border with Cameroon. The operations took place in Borno state, a region that has been a hotspot for militant activity and Boko Haram insurgency. According to official statements from the Nigerian military, the airstrikes killed at least 35 suspected Islamic fighters across four locations. The strikes were reportedly aimed at preventing an imminent attack by the jihadists on Nigerian ground forces. This military action reflects ongoing efforts by Nigeria to counter terrorism and insurgency threats in the region.
