“This was achieved on Friday in devastating airstrikes conducted by the Air Task Force as part of missions in the ongoing Operation Green Sweep 3.
“The target was designated for attack based on credible intelligence reports, which were further corroborated by a series of Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions, that established the settlement as a major hub of BHT activities.
“The ATF, therefore, detailed two Alpha Jets to attack the target area. The airstrikes were synchronised for maximum effect, recording devastating hits on the terrorists’ hideout and killing several of their fighters, as captured in the Battle Damage Assessment footage.”
