Troops of the Joint Task Force (North East), Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), have successfully repelled a coordinated night attack by ISWAP terrorists on the 120 Task Force Battalion in Goniri under Sector 2 in Yobe State.
The incident occurred between the late hours of Saturday, May 9, 2026, and the early hours of Sunday, May 10, 2026.
In a statement made available to Channels Television, the Media Information Officer of the Theatre Command, Lt. Col. Sani Uba, said the terrorists advanced from the Mandunari axis around midnight but were detected early by an ambush team.
