Nigeria's air force said it
killed at least 35 Islamic fighters in air strikes near the
Cameroon border on Saturday, following intelligence that the
group was planning an attack on ground troops.
The strikes targeted four assembly points, air force
spokesperson Ehimen Ejodame said in a statement, adding that
communication was later restored with troops who confirmed the
area had been secured.
The operation is part of an intensified campaign in the
northeast, where the military last week said it had killed 592
armed militia members in eight months, surpassing operational
gains made in 2024.
