55 terrorists were killed in a joint operation in Niger
According to Niger's military, a coordinated operation with Nigeria resulted in the deaths of 55 jihadists, including some of the organization's elite militants.
According to the statement, a Daesh terrorist hideaway in West Africa (ISWAP) was discovered during the 22-day operation, which came to an end last Sunday, in the town of Arege in northeastern Nigeria, close to the Niger border.
She stated, referring to the traditional word for jihadists, that among the 55 terrorists who were murdered were several top commanders and several religious leaders.
This number was stated in a military statement regarding operations in the southeast Niger region of Diffa, which was sighted on Monday by the French news agency AFP.
According to the statement, the operation, which uses both air and ground forces, was designed to put "continuing pressure" on ISWAP and cut off its supply routes.
13 automobiles, 13 motorbikes, and five "armored vehicles" were destroyed, along with two troops who died and three more who were hurt.
