A Midnight Assault Turns Into a Battlefield
The silence of the night in Damboa, Borno State, was shattered when Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) insurgents launched a coordinated attack, attempting to overrun military positions.
Their target? The Azir Bridge axis and the 25 Task Force Brigade location—a strategic stronghold in the ongoing fight against terrorism in Nigeria.
But Nigeria’s brave soldiers weren’t backing down.
A Fierce Battle That Lasted Over Two Hours
At 2 a.m., troops under Operation Hadin Kai, backed by Nigerian Air Force (NAF) airstrikes, responded with unrelenting firepower, engaging in a fight that would last for two intense hours.
💥 Rockets lit up the night sky
💥 Machine guns roared as troops fought back
💥 Explosions rocked the battlefield
“The main thrust of the terrorists was the brigade location in Damboa, where they attacked en masse. However, the troops responded decisively with heavy firepower, leading to many enemy casualties,” a security source said.
When the dust settled, 16 ISWAP insurgents lay dead, while many others fled into the darkness, wounded.
Sacrifice & Heroism—The Price of Victory
The battle wasn’t without its losses. Two gallant Nigerian soldiers paid the supreme price, laying down their lives to protect the country from terrorist forces.
Their bravery, their sacrifice, etched into the heart of every Nigerian who longs for peace.
The Hunt Continues—Pursuit Operations Underway
With ISWAP’s forces scattered and weakened, Nigerian troops are relentlessly tracking down fleeing insurgents, ensuring no terrorist escapes justice.
As Damboa remains under military protection, questions linger—when will the insurgency end, and what more must be done to achieve lasting peace?
The Fight Isn’t Over
This battle was won, but the war against terrorism rages on.
