Eight terrorists eliminated in Lake Chad, says military

Troops of the Nigerian Military on Wednesday, killed eight suspected terrorists and injured 10 others in an air strike across the Lake Chad waterways.

This was revealed in an operational report on Wednesday. The report said the strike was conducted at about 9:00 a.m., on Wednesday.

It said the maritime component, supported by armed unmanned aerial vehicles and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets, carried out the mission against terrorist targets.

According to the report, preliminary battle damage assessment indicated 10 other insurgents were wounded.

The report however, said only aerial assessment was possible because the waterways posed a major obstacle to troops’ access to the target area.
