Operatives of the Nigerian Army, under the ongoing Operation HADIN KAI, are currently locked in a fierce battle with fighters from the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in Yobe State. The clash erupted after an attack on the town of Buni Gari, located in the northeastern part of Nigeria, known for its vulnerability to militant activity.
A brief update on the situation was posted on the Army’s official social media platform (X, formerly Twitter) on Saturday, confirming the ongoing gunfight. The statement read: “Troops of Operation HADIN KAI currently in a fierce battle against ISWAP attack at Buni Gari, Yobe State. Details later…”
As the conflict unfolds, the Nigerian military continues to combat ISWAP insurgents, who have been active in the region, creating instability and posing a significant threat to local communities. The Army’s presence in the area is part of a larger effort to suppress terrorism and restore peace in Nigeria’s northeast, which has long struggled with extremist violence.
Further updates on the situation are expected as the military presses forward with operations.
