See how air force bombarded high level Boko Haram meeting with fighter jets

The Nigerian Air Force has continued its offensive against Boko Haram terrorists with its latest attack resulting in the death of some of its members.

The military has taken effort to rid the country off the operation of terrorists and its latest offensive targeted Boko Haram fighters who were having a meeting.

In a statement and video released by the air force, it was revealed that the offensive badly damaged the terrorists as those that managed to escape scrambled away in fear.

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), in continuation of its efforts at finishing the remnants of the Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT), conducted several air strikes at suspected BHT locations on the outskirts of Tumbin Gini and Tumbin Kayewa Northeastern Borno State on Friday 16 September 2016. The air strikes were as a result of ground based intelligence and successive Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance reports obtained from several missions flown by NAF platforms. In a video released by the NAF, some of the terrorists could be seen at one of the rendezvous where they were believed to be holding a high-level meeting when NAF jets were scrambled to hit the locations.

A post-strike battle damage assessment of the strikes revealed that the rendezvous was badly damaged with many casualties while those far from the vicinity could be seen scrambling to safety. The aircrafts involved in the air strikes are the NAF F-7Ni and the Alpha jets.
 The air offensive of the NAF have continued to deny the terrorists any hiding place and room for maneuver. This has enabled unhindered advance by the surface forces as part of the ongoing Operation GAMA AIKI.

It will be recalled that the NAF had, in an earlier operation successfully conducted air strikes on BHT Camps at Tumbin Rego on 26 August which led to the death of many high ranking members of the group.
