A Nigerian Air Force Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has destroyed a logistics base used by members of the Boko Haram sect.
The UAV was on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) mission when it came across the gathering of terrorists at Garin Moloma, about one kilometre north of the Sambisa Forest.
At the time of the UAV attack, the location, though under surveillance for quite a while, had a large gathering of terrorists and vehicles.
The multiple explosions and huge fire ball from the location, as can be seen from the enclosed video of the UAV strike, strongly suggests that it may be either an ammunition/fuel storage or weapons/technical workshop.
Air Force spokesman, Captain Ayodele Famuyiwa, in a statement Tuesday evening, said the strike was a major setback for Boko Haram and a major plus for the fight against insurgency by troops.
