The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) said more terrorists have been killed in a coordinated air campaign on Sambisa Forest and Gwoza in Borno State.
A statement by Defence spokesman Major General Chris Olukolade said: "A concerted air campaign by the Nigerian air force is ongoing in furtherance of the mission to clear terrorists from all their enclaves."
"The air strikes which today targeted the training camps and logistics dumps of the terrorists in Sambisa forests and parts of Gwoza have been highly successful as it achieved the aims with required precision," he added.
Olukolade said the death of a large number of terrorists has been recorded while many others are also scampering all over the forest and out of the struck bases.
However, he noted that details of casualty will be determined in subsequent phases of the operation.
The DHQ statement explained that: "the strikes continue in other locations of the theatre, heralding the advance of troops and other elements of the mission."
