Air Interdiction at Talala and Ajigin Decimates Terrorists’, kill scores
By: Zagazola Makama
The Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) has carried out a successful air interdiction mission targeting ISWAP terrorists at Talala and Ajigin in the Timbuktu Triangle of Borno State.
Intelligence sources confirmed to Zagazola Makama that the precision strikes were conducted on 7 May 2025 at approximately 1730 hours. The mission, executed under the ongoing Operation KALACHEN WUTA II, was based on credible intelligence and persistent surveillance.
The sources said that “Our ISR platforms had earlier picked up significant terrorist activities at the Talala and Ajigin axes, indicating that the enemy was regrouping and storing logistics in preparation for coordinated attacks.
“Following confirmation of the threat, the Air Component engaged the enclaves in a decisive strike. The precision-guided engagement resulted in the neutralisation of scores terrorists and the destruction of numerous logistics assets, including makeshift structures, weapons, and mobility platforms.”
The source described the operation as a “strategic success” that has disrupted ISWAP’s tactical preparations and denied the insurgents the opportunity to launch offensives during a critical festive period.
“As we speak, we are monitoring for post-strike effects and enemy reactions. Preliminary assessments indicate disarray within their ranks, suggesting panic and operational setbacks.”The sources observed.
“This operation sends a clear message: wherever the enemy attempts to find cover, we will find them, and we will strike with precision and resolve,” the sources said.
Zagazola has earlier reported significant build-up of militants observed in the Talala axis of the Timbuktu Triangle forests in Damboa Local Government Area, Borno State, with an intention to carry out attacks after the terrorists were sighted in about 28 motorcycles and vehicles.
