TROOPS ELIMINATE MORE THAN 25 ISWAP TERRORISTS IN KUKAWA BORNO STATE

Troops of the Nigerian military have reportedly eliminated more than 25 fighters of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) during a military operation in Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State.

The operation forms part of ongoing efforts by the Nigerian Armed Forces to combat terrorism, disrupt insurgent activities, and restore peace and security in the North-East region.

Kukawa, located in Borno State, is among the areas affected by the Boko Haram insurgency and ISWAP activities. Military operations in the region have focused on targeting insurgent positions, preventing attacks on communities, and protecting civilians from violence.

The reported killing of more than 25 ISWAP fighters represents a development in the military’s ongoing campaign against insurgency. However, further details regarding the circumstances of the operation, the number of troops involved, and any recovered weapons or equipment would be necessary to provide a fuller account of the engagement.

The military continues to face security challenges in the North-East, where insurgent groups have carried out attacks against security personnel and civilian populations. Sustained operations, intelligence gathering, and cooperation with local communities remain important components of efforts to address these threats.

Beyond military action, the restoration of lasting peace in affected communities will require continued humanitarian support, the rehabilitation of displaced populations, and measures to address the underlying factors contributing to insecurity.

The reported operation highlights the continuing efforts of Nigerian security forces to weaken insurgent networks and improve security in Borno State. Further official information is needed to establish the full details and outcome of the operation.
