Daily Post reported that the strike followed intelligence on the movement of the fighters in the Lake Chad axis. The operation was presented as part of continuing pressure on ISWAP positions.
The report said the operation also destroyed motorcycles used by the fighters, a detail that points to the strike targeting both personnel and movement capacity in the area.
