Nigerian Army forces have uncovered a significant underground Boko Haram logistics hub during intense operations in the Timbuktu Triangle area of Borno State. According to the Punchng.com, the discovery was made by troops of Operation Hadin Kai (the Joint Task Force North-East) following deliberate, intelligence-led advances against terrorist enclaves.
According to military statement, underground storage facilities, with hidden caches of fuel and petroleum products were found. Medical supplies, foodstuffs and other logistical materials critical to terror group sustainment were also seen the cache.
Other items recovered include weapons and equipment, such as AK-47 magazines and ammunition, belts of 7.62 mm and 12.7 mm ammunition, radios and phones,
Boko Haram/ISWAP flags. Ground vehicles and heavy equipment like a pick-up truck and diesel-powered machinery were also seized.
The offensive, known as Operation Desert Sanity, involved coordinated air-ground operations across Chilaria, Garin Faruk and Abirma — known extremist strongholds within the notorious Timbuktu Triangle.
The advance was backed by air intelligence support, with Nigerian Air Force assets maintaining real-time surveillance and tracking during the operation.
These seizures degrade the insurgents’ resilience by cutting off fuel, food, medical supplies, communications gear, and ammunition — items essential for their survival and mobility. This recent success fits into a broader pattern of intensified military operations across northern Nigeria. The troops have previously carried out coordinated strikes against insurgency in various regions.
