The major operation involved Nigerian troops from Sector 1 and 21 Brigade, as well as the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF).<\/p>\n

The contingent stormed battle grounds and opened massive fire despite stiff resistance by the terrorists.<\/p>\n

In desperation, some of the insurgents resorted to suicide bombings. They triggered improvised explosive devices in order to push the troops back.<\/p>\n

A military source told PRNigeria that reinforcement \u2013 personnel and heavy equipment have been deployed to the general area.<\/p>\n

Movement by civilians along the Maiduguri \u2013 Gwoza road has been restricted to avoid collateral damages.<\/p>\n

The officer said the renewed determination of personnel as well as the synergy between ground and air forces were producing successful results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
