In a notable report released by the Defence Headquarters (DHQ), significant progress in military operations across Nigeria for the month of October has been outlined. During a press briefing held in Abuja on Thursday, the Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. Edward Buba, shared details reflecting the concerted efforts of the Nigerian military in combating terrorism and related criminal activities.
The operations led to the elimination of 481 terrorists, apprehension of 741 suspects, and the rescue of 492 individuals from kidnapping situations. Furthermore, troops successfully recovered a substantial arsenal, including 480 weapons alongside 9,026 assorted rounds of ammunition. Among these were 263 AK47 rifles, 81 locally fabricated guns, and 76 pump-action guns, indicating a robust offensive against armed insurgents.
Maj.-Gen. Buba emphasized the military’s strategy to undermine the operational capabilities of terrorist groups through coordinated strikes on their enclaves across the nation. The Air Force has been pivotal in these endeavors, executing precise bombardments that significantly diminished the terrorists’ combat capabilities.
In the North-East, these operations notably included synchronized air and ground assaults, resulting in the neutralization of 198 terrorists and the rescue of 156 hostages. Additionally, a total of 257 former Boko Haram and ISWAP combatants and their families surrendered during this period.
The operations extended to the North-Central and Northwest regions, where 50 violent extremists were neutralized, and 202 suspects apprehended, alongside 165 kidnap rescues. In the Northwest, 163 terrorists were neutralized, and the troops maintained a focus on establishing a secure environment conducive to agricultural and socio-economic activities.
Despite the tragic loss of Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. T.A. Lagbaja, Maj.-Gen. Buba reiterated the steadfast commitment of the armed forces to continue their mission undeterred. The military’s resolve to combat terrorism remains unwavering, inspired by the legacy and dedication of their late commander.
These achievements reflect a determined and strategic response to the complex security challenges facing Nigeria, as the military aims to restore peace and stability in affected regions.

Russia Responds to Potential Western Troop Deployment in Ukraine.

Moscow has reacted strongly to reports of potential troop deployments by France and the United Kingdom aimed at bolstering security in Ukraine. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, in a briefing on Thursday, labeled the proposition of a multinational peacekeeping contingent as “insane.”
Ms. Zakharova further highlighted the apparent lack of widespread support within the European Union for the proposed intervention, suggesting the initiative lacks the necessary consensus for successful implementation. She also alluded to the necessity of U.S. involvement, stating that the coalition is unlikely to achieve its objectives without Washington’s backing. “Judging by the current discussions, Washington still has no intention of becoming involved in such an adventure,” she remarked, implying a pragmatic assessment of the potential ramifications by the United States.
Turning to the recent missile strike on Palm Sunday, Ms. Zakharova asserted President Zelenskyy’s “certain” responsibility for the ensuing consequences. She explained that the Russian Armed Forces had targeted a location in Sumy identified as hosting a Ukrainian command staff meeting. Ms. Zakharova further noted that President Zelenskyy subsequently dismissed the head of the Sumy military administration, Volodymyr Artyukh, seemingly “confirming the charges against him” in the aftermath of the incident.

US Accuses Chinese Firm of Aiding Houthi Attacks.

The United States State Department has leveled serious accusations against Chang Guang Satellite Technology, a Chinese firm, alleging its direct support for Houthi rebel attacks targeting US interests. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce confirmed reports that the company is providing critical support to the Iran-backed group.
According to US officials cited by the Financial Times, Chang Guang Satellite Technology, which has ties to the Chinese military, is supplying the Houthis with satellite imagery used to target US warships and international vessels operating in the Red Sea.
The State Department condemned this action as “unacceptable,” further stating that it contradicts China’s self-proclaimed role as a global peacemaker. The department argues that Beijing, through companies like Chang Guang Satellite Technology, provides vital economic and technical assistance to regimes such as Russia, North Korea, and Iran, including its proxy groups. This accusation marks a significant escalation in tensions between the US and China, highlighting concerns over China’s role in destabilizing international security.
