Troops of Operation Fansan Yamma have killed a suspected terrorist in Shinkafi Local Government Area of Zamfara State, while military airstrikes reportedly hit a terrorist hideout in Tsafe LGA, with several fighters allegedly killed and wounded.
The troops, according to a local source who pleaded anonymity, were conducting operations around the Galadi axis when they spotted suspected terrorists riding motorcycles and attempting to cross the road.
The source said troops engaged the suspects, resulting in the death of one of them, while others reportedly fled the scene.
The deceased, it was reported, was found wearing a woodland camouflage vest underneath his kaftan, while photos recovered from his phone showed him wearing camouflage and holding a PKT machine gun.
The troops also recovered four mobile phones and N30,350 in cash from the scene.
