Troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA (OPFY), Joint Task Force North West, have sustained intense pressure on terrorist elements across the Joint Operations Area, recording notable operational successes between January 21 and 22, 2026.
In one of the coordinated offensives, troops of the 8 Division Garrison Strike Force, supported by Department of State Services (DSS) assets, engaged terrorists during a fighting patrol at Gundumi Village in Isa Local Government Area. One terrorist was neutralised during the encounter, while others escaped into the forest with gunshot wounds. The troops recovered six AK-47 rifles and three motorcycles from the scene.
In a related operation, troops of 1 Brigade, in collaboration with the Headquarters JTF OPFY Mobile Strike Team, acted on credible intelligence indicating that injured terrorists were receiving treatment in Bingi Forest. The troops located and destroyed a makeshift medical facility used by the terrorists, significantly disrupting their support and logistics network.
The latest successes underscore the resolve, responsiveness and operational effectiveness of Operation FANSAN YAMMA in degrading terrorist networks and restoring lasting peace and security across the North West.
