The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has announced that the Air Component of Operation Fansan Yamma (OPFY), Sector 3, carried out successful airstrikes on hostile elements in parts of Kwara State.
This was contained in a statement on Monday in Abuja by the Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet.
According to the statement, multiple coordinated missions were executed on Sunday across Kakihun, Oke-Ode, Babanla and adjoining areas.
Reconnaissance and close air support operations were launched to deter emerging threats, with strikes targeted at hostile elements spotted east of Babanla. Concurrently, surveillance flights covered key settlements and military positions, gathering vital intelligence to back ground operations.
“These missions reaffirm NAF’s commitment to protecting troops and civilians, maintaining air superiority, and sustaining pressure on hostile actors. All operations were completed successfully,” Gabkwet said.
He further assured Nigerians of the Force’s unwavering resolve to defend the nation’s territorial integrity and protect communities from threats.
“Citizens are encouraged to remain confident, vigilant, and supportive of the Armed Forces as decisive actions continue to restore lasting peace and security across the country,” he added.
