Nigerian military forces have carried out air operations against suspected terrorists in Zamfara State, killing several members of the group during the operation.
The strikes were conducted as part of ongoing military efforts to weaken armed groups operating across the state and other parts of north-western Nigeria.
The operation reportedly targeted suspected terrorists gathered in a hideout, with military intelligence and surveillance used to identify the location before the air attack was carried out.
Several of the suspected terrorists were reportedly killed in the strikes, while the military continues to assess the full impact of the operation.
The latest air operation comes amid sustained efforts by Nigerian security forces to dismantle terrorist and bandit networks responsible for attacks, kidnappings and other violent activities across Zamfara.
Security forces have continued to combine aerial operations with ground operations in an effort to disrupt the activities of armed groups and prevent them from establishing permanent bases in affected communities.
The military is expected to maintain its operations against the groups as part of broader efforts to restore security and protect residents in Zamfara and neighbouring states.
