Troops of the Joint Task Force North-East, Operation Hadin Kai, OPHK, neutralised two suspected terrorists during a night ambush operation in Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State.
Security analyst and counter-insurgency expert Zagazola Makama disclosed this in a post via his X handle.
Security sources said the operation, conducted under Operation Desert Sanity/Siege Operations, took place at about 11:05 p.m. on May 13, 2026, at Bazamri village, a location identified as a major crossing point for members of the ISWAP.
According to the sources, troops laid an ambush at the location, intercepted the terrorists, and engaged them in a firefight, resulting in the neutralisation of two insurgents.
Following the encounter, troops conducted a clearance operation of the area and recovered several items suspected to be logistics supplies for the terrorists.
Recovered items included 54 packs of 80-gram detergent, 32 packs of 500-gram salt, and one carton of spaghetti.
Military authorities confirmed that no casualty was recorded among the troops during the operation.
The ambush team reportedly repositioned and continued surveillance operations in the area as part of sustained efforts against terrorist movements.
Security sources added that troops’ morale and operational efficiency remained high, while offensive operations across the theatre continued.
