**Nigerian Army Foils ISWAP Attacks in Borno, Pays Dearly** In a recent wave of coordinated assaults, the Nigerian Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists targeted military formations in Borno State, leading to a bloody confrontation with security forces. Unfortunately, the Nigerian Army suffered heavy losses, including the life of a Major and several soldiers. The attacks, which took place between Saturday and Sunday, were swiftly repelled by troops of Operation Hadin Kai, a joint task force in the North-east. In a statement, the spokesperson for the operation, Lieutenant Colonel Sani Uba, praised the troops for demonstrating resilience and battlefield dominance in foiling the attacks on military formations in Mayanti, Gajigana, and Gajiram. ISWAP, in a propaganda message, claimed responsibility for the attacks, stating that they targeted military camps in Gajiram and Mayinti, as well as the Kajeri military camp at Banki junction in Borno. According to the group, their fighters destroyed nine military vehicles, including armoured personnel carriers, and carted away weapons and motorcycles from the affected bases. However, eyewitnesses and sources close to the military revealed that the insurgents suffered significant losses, with many terrorists confirmed dead. The military also recovered a substantial amount of combat equipment, including PKT automatic anti-aircraft guns, RPG-7 tubes, AK-47 rifles, and large quantities of ammunition. The attacks highlight the ongoing security challenges in the North-east, where the Nigerian military has been battling ISWAP and Boko Haram terrorists for years. Despite the setbacks, the military remains committed to defeating the insurgents and restoring peace to the region. As the fight against terrorism continues, the Nigerian Army is urging citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities. With the military's resolve to protect the country and its people, the people of Borno State can take comfort in knowing that the government is working tirelessly to ensure their safety and security. In conclusion, the recent attacks by ISWAP in Borno State serve as a grim reminder of the ongoing security challenges in Nigeria. While the military suffered losses, their bravery and determination in repelling the attacks are a testament to their commitment to defending the country and its people.
