By: Zagazola Makama
On January 2, 2025, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) under the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) launched a precision airstrike targeting a suspected terrorist logistics hub in Wulade, nestled in the Mandara Mountains.
The operation, which struck an area believed to serve as a marketplace for exchanging logistics among terrorists, resulted in the suyanisation of several insurgents and the destruction of their vehicles.
Intelligence told Zagazola Makama that the airstrike followed credible intelligence indicating that the location was being used for strategic meetings and the coordination of terrorist activities.
“The strike was executed with pinpoint accuracy, taking out a significant number of terrorists and disrupting their logistics network,” the source stated.
Wulade, situated within the rugged terrain of the Mandara Mountains, has long been a challenging area for counter insurgency operations due to its difficult topography. However, advancements in aerial surveillance and precision targeting have bolstered the military’s capacity to identify and neutralize threats in such areas.
