Daramola explained that the air strike which was conducted on Thursday followed Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions.

“Accordingly, the ATF dispatched two Alpha Jets to attack the location, scoring accurate hits in the target area, which led to the destruction of some of the structures and equipment as well as the killing of several terrorists,” he said.
