<p>In a coordinated response to attacks on Shanono and Tsanyawa Local Government Areas, troops of the Joint Task Force (JTF), supported by the Air Component of Operation Fansan Yamma, neutralized at least 23 armed bandits who fled Kano State.</p>
<p>According to a statement issued on Sunday by Major Zubairu Babatunde, Assistant Director of Army Public Relations for the 3 Brigade, Nigerian Army, the bandits carried out attacks from Thursday night into early Friday morning. Ground troops successfully repelled the assaults, inflicting heavy casualties on the attackers before pursuing them into neighboring Katsina State.</p>
<p>Intelligence reports indicated that the fleeing bandits later gathered at Dan Marke in Matazu Local Government Area, Katsina, to bury members killed in the initial engagement. Following aerial surveillance, the Air Component tracked the group’s movement to Karaduwa village, where they conducted a precision air strike.</p>
