The air operations complemented sustained ground offensives aimed at disrupting terrorist formations, supply routes and freedom of movement.
During the period under review, troops also neutralised nine improvised explosive devices, IEDs, thereby denying terrorist elements the opportunity to use the devices against military personnel and civilians.
The troops recovered 58 weapons and explosive items, as well as 1,184 rounds of ammunition during various operations.
The recoveries are expected to further degrade the firepower and operational capacity of terrorist elements operating in the North-East.
The troops also recovered 16 mobility assets, including motorcycles, bicycles, tricycles and other vehicles reportedly linked to terrorist activities.
