Nigerian military jets have c@rried out airstrikes against suspected t£rrorists in Yankuzo community in Zamfara State, reportedly k!ll!ng several fighters.

The operation happened on the evening of September 7 when five military aircraft coordinated attacks over the area.

Security sources said the jets targeted suspected t£rrorists on the ground, with multiple fighters reported d£ad, though exact numbers haven't been confirmed yet.

Among those reportedly k!ll£d was a t£rrorist named Isiya Gurgu, who was said to be close to a bandit leader called Musa Commander.

Musa Commander is allegedly linked to the Ado Aleru network, which controls several communities including Tsamiya.

The military apparently took care during the operation to avoid hitting civilians, focusing fire on people carrying weapons or wearing military-style clothing.

Several other suspected t£rrorists were wounded.

Yankuzo has been a base for armed groups connected to the Ado Aleru network, with residents facing ongoing threats from fighters operating there.

More details about casualties and the full outcome are expected as security forces complete their assessment.
