The Nigerian Air Force says a drone bombed a Boko
Haram logistics base in the northeast, possibly hitting an ammunition
depot and dealing a "major setback" to the Islamic extremists.
A
statement from Group Captain Ayodele Famuyiwa said the first attack by
an unmanned combat aerial vehicle took place when it was activated over a
large gathering of vehicles a kilometer (mile) north of the Sambisa
Forest, an insurgent stronghold.
It says multiple explosions and huge fire ball shown in an attached video suggest the drone hit an ammunition and fuel depot.
The
military said Saturday that the air force has conducted 286 operations
in a sustained aerial bombardment of the Sambisa Forest over the past
month, covering an area of 157,000 square kilometers (60,618 square
miles).
