The operation, conducted as part of the ongoing Operation Desert Sanity IV, took place in the Karagawaru area of Kaga Local Government Area, Borno State.
According to military sources, the ambush was carried out by the 29 Task Force Brigade.
Acting on credible intelligence, the troops strategically positioned themselves at a suspected crossing point.
