Details of the Operation

During the exchange, three Boko Haram fighters were killed, while others reportedly fled with gunshot wounds. The operation demonstrates the continued efforts of Nigerian security forces to rid Borno State and the broader Northeast region of terrorist elements.

Operation HADIN KAI is the Nigerian military's counter-insurgency initiative in the Northeast, focused on combating Boko Haram and other terrorist groups that have plagued the region for over a decade.

Konduga, located approximately 25 kilometers from Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, has been a flashpoint for terrorist activities in recent years.

The Nigerian military continues to conduct regular clearance operations across vulnerable communities in Borno State as part of broader efforts to restore peace and security to the region.

Military authorities have yet to release an official statement regarding the operation at the time of this report.
