Troops of the Joint Task Force North East Operation HADIN KAI have repelled coordinated attacks by Boko Haram/ISWAP fighters on Forward Operating Bases in Mayanti, Gajigana and Gajiram communities of Borno State.
The attacks, which occurred between late February 28 and the early hours of March 1, 2026, targeted military positions under Sector II of Operation HADIN KAI.
In a statement on Sunday, the Media Information Officer, Lt. Col. Sani Uba, said troops foiled the assaults and inflicted casualties on the attackers.
According to the statement, Forward Operating Base, FOB, Mayanti in Bama Local Government Area came under heavy attack by a large number of insurgents.
Troops reportedly held their ground despite intense gunfire, while reinforcements navigated ambushes and improvised explosive devices, IEDs, to repel the attackers.
Military sources said five insurgents were killed during the encounter, while weapons including PKT guns, RPG-7 tubes, AK-47 rifles, FN rifles, RPG bombs and ammunition were recovered. An officer was, however, killed during the fighting.
Similarly, at about 1:15 a.m. on March 1, insurgents attacked FOB Gajiram using heavy weapons and drones but were repelled with the support of air assets.
Three bodies were recovered along the withdrawal route, alongside rifles, anti-tank bombs, mortar bombs, an armed drone and other equipment. One wounded soldier was airlifted for medical treatment.
Troops also engaged insurgents at Kayawa village, forcing them to retreat and abandon motorcycles and bicycles.
In separate ambush operations around Bulturam Corner and Dadingel in Gujba Local Government Area, two insurgents were reportedly killed and weapons recovered.
The military said all affected locations remain under its control, while operations continue across the theatre.
