NAF Airstrikes Target Armed Bandits Transitioning from Zamfara to Kebbi

The Nigerian Air Force executed precision air strikes on a large group of armed bandits transitioning from Zamfara State to Kebbi State. Approximately 240 bandits were detected moving in formations towards Makuku, prompting security forces, including the Nigerian Army and Police, to mobilize in response.

Following the detection, an air interdiction mission was launched, resulting in significant casualties among the bandits and supporting ground troops in preventing further incursions into at-risk communities. Residents of impacted areas have begun precautionary evacuations as security operations continue. Ongoing assessments are being conducted to evaluate the full extent of the operation's impact.
