The airstrikes could be described as arguably one of the most successful strikes undertaken by the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai.

Meanwhile, following the strike, on November 7, reports emerged that ISWAP had mobilised additional fighters from its Sambisa wing, regrouping in the areas of Kusuma and Sigir in the Gamboru Ngala Local Government Area.

Both locations are within the territory under Usman Russia’s control, with mobilised fighters reportedly including elements from Sambisa Forest and northern border areas of Cameroon.
