The number of attacks across the military theatres of operation fell by 73.3 per cent in October 2026, with the Defence Headquarters recording 98 incidents compared with 367 in September.
The Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj. Gen. Michael Onoja, disclosed this in Abuja on Friday while giving an update on military operations across the country.
He said the reduction represented 269 fewer attacks within one month, attributing the military’s operational gains to sustained efforts by troops across the various theatres.
A breakdown of the October figures showed that Operation Enduring Peace recorded the highest number of attacks with 29 incidents, followed by Operation Hadin Kai with 27 and Operation Fansan Yamma with 24.
Operation Whirl Stroke recorded 12 attacks, while Operation Udo Ka recorded four, while operations Delta Safe and Savannah Shield recorded one attack each.
