BORNO: The Nigerian military said it has rescued 360 abducted civilians during a security operation targeting armed groups in Borno State.

Troops carried out a coordinated raid on suspected militant hideouts in the northeast, freeing the captives as part of ongoing counterinsurgency efforts in the region.

Authorities said the operation is part of intensified efforts to dismantle kidnapping networks, though further details on the victims’ condition and remaining suspects were not immediately released.

Borno, a long-time epicenter of insurgent activity, continues to see frequent military operations aimed at restoring security.
