The Nigerian Air Force says the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai has destroyed terrorists’ Improvised Explosive Devices factory at Grazah, in the Mandara Hills in Borno state.

NAF’s Director, Public Relations and Information, Air vice Marshal EDWARD GABKWET, made this known in a statement in Abuja.

GEBKWET said the air interdiction was a sequel to the recent attacks on innocent civilians in the state using IEDs and suicide bombers.

He added that air strikes were conducted on August 2, following intelligence which revealed the sighting of a possible IED factory and storage area for other logistics.

GABKWET noted that the targets were acquired and effectively destroyed; adding that the thick cloud of smoke that followed the air strikes confirmed the destruction of the IED factory and the gun trucks.
