The Nigerian Air Force successfully destroyed a major terrorist logistics hub and neutralized several fighters during a precision airstrike in Katsina’s Dan-Aji Forest.
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has recorded a significant victory in the ongoing fight against banditry in the North-West. On May 1, 2026, air assets under **Operation Fansan Yamma** executed a precision airstrike targeting a terrorist enclave in the **Dan-Aji Forest**, located in the Faskari Local Government Area of Katsina State.
The targeted location served as a vital logistics hub for notorious terrorist kingpin **Abasu Aiki** and his fighters. Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame confirmed that intelligence reports of renewed activities prompted the raid, which successfully neutralized several terrorists and destroyed associated structures.
The strike triggered secondary explosions and widespread fires, severely degrading the group’s operational capacity. This successful mission reinforces the NAF’s commitment to dismantling terrorist networks and restoring peace to the region.
