188 terrorists have been killed and 330 have been detained during operations across the country’s northern regions in the last week, according to Defence Headquarters.
During the time under consideration, the military stationed around the country rescued 133 abducted people.
Maj. Gen. Edward Buba, Director of Defence Media Operations, made the announcement in a statement on Friday.
He underlined that the forces’ recent accomplishments had put them in a great position to win the ongoing battle against terrorism.
The statement read:
“The armed forces are working decisively to kill the terrorists, stop the insecurity, and ensure the safety of citizens. Accordingly, we are making the terrorists pay a much heavier price than we have been forced to pay.
“Troops will continue to operate with tremendous force against terrorists across the country. During the week under review, troops neutralised 188 and arrested 330 persons. Troops also rescued 133 kidnapped hostages.
“The military is in a good and strong position in the war against terrorists with many terrorist leaders killed. We will continue to provide security for citizens with the tools at our disposal.”
