According to a statement by Adesanya, the Nigerian Air Force, on Oct. 30, conducted an air interdiction mission on a blue-roofed structure in TALALA, the insurgents infested location in Sambisa.
“Intelligence reports from NAF Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance platforms as well as Human Intelligence had revealed that a sizeable number of insurgents were holding a meeting in the blue-roofed building.
“Consequently, a NAF fighter aircraft was scrambled to attack the building.
“Subsequent Battle Damage Assessment revealed that the building and its occupants were neutralised as a result of the air strike,” he said.
