According to a statement made public on Thursday in the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja by AVM Edward Gabkwet, the NAF's Director of Public Relations and Information.
He clarified that the latest action by the air force was a response to the militants' use of IEDs and suicide bombers in the state to assault civilians.
He said that intelligence about the likely location of an IED production and storage place for other logistics led to the airstrikes that were carried out on August 2.
According to his disclosures, the Army has been monitoring the IED factory's movement. He clarified that the facility was thought to have moved from Gwoza to the Timbuktu Triangle in the Sambisa Forest and then to its current site at Grazah in the Mandara Hills.
He clarified that the reason for the relocations was the degree of pursuit the troops and commanders gave the Nigerian Air Force.
The Nigerian Air Force has been keeping a close eye on the IED manufacturing for some weeks, according to the statement. He clarified that the IED manufacture was extensively led by the terrorists in Grazah. He claims that the protection is extremely crucial for the leaders and members of Boko Haram.
Two gun trucks under a huge tree nearby were among the equipment recovered from the IED facility.
"Thus, in order to destroy the suspected IED factory and neutralize the terrorists, an air strike on the area was required in light of these findings.”
In closing, he said that the targets had been successfully destroyed, adding that the destruction of the IED factory and the gun trucks had been verified by the dense smoke cloud that had arisen from the air attacks.
The latest victory followed an attack by Bokoharam on a Borno market, which occurred before to the start of the nationwide protest that resulted in several fatalities in the state.
Due to the recent assaults, the state governor imposed a state-wide curfew; however, once things settled down, the curfew was lifted and people were free to resume their regular lives. According to reports, the state is back to normal following all of the tragedies that claimed many lives of state residents.
For more than a decade, the Boko Haram sect's operations have terrified the state.
