Air Strike Kills Dozens of Terrorists, Foils Planned Zamfara Village Massacre
Troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA (OPFY) have killed dozens of terrorists in a coordinated air and ground offensive at the Makakkari general area of Gando Forest, Bukkuyum Local Government Area, Zamfara State, on 10 August 2025.
The operation was launched following credible intelligence that a large number of terrorists loyal to the late Halilu Buzu and Alhaji Beti had converged in the forest. They were reportedly preparing a reprisal attack on Adabka and Nasarawan Burkullu farming communities in Bukkuyum LGA to avenge their recent defeat in clashes with security forces and hybrid units.
After the initial aerial bombardment, troops under Sector 2 of OPFY intercepted and eliminated fleeing terrorists attempting to escape the strike zone.
In a statement, OPFY assured residents that terrorists and other armed groups will have no safe haven in the North West and parts of the North Central. The force pledged to sustain operations until the region is secured, urging communities to provide timely information to aid in neutralising threats.
