The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) neutralized 29 bandits in an intense airstrike near Bakori Hills and Yartsintsiya, Kankara Local Government Area. The strike followed a recent attack in Kankara LGA.
Reports confirm that 8 bandits were killed by gunshot wounds and 21 by bomb fragments.
The operation also led to the liberation of several kidnapped victims, including the daughter of the Ruwan Godiya village head, held captive for months.
The NAF, working with ground forces and intelligence agencies, remains committed to eliminating criminal elements and restoring peace in the region.
