Nigerian Army Raises Alarm Over Rise in Armed Drone Use by Terrorists

The Nigerian military has expressed concern over the increasing use of armed drones by terrorist groups operating in the northeast region. The development, which has coincided with a surge in deadly attacks, highlights a shift in tactics by the insurgents. General Abdulsalam Abubakar, Theatre Commander of Operation Hadin Kai, revealed that these sophisticated drones are similar to those employed in Israel and Ukraine. He cited an increase in such attacks starting last November as a sign of the threat posed by this new technology.
