The Nigerian army repelled several attacks by armed groups in the Anka area of Zamfara State on 14 November, with air support. In Kaduna State, a suspect was killed and homemade weapons were seized, according to Punch.
Attackers on motorbikes raided the villages of Wuya and Yarzabia, in the Anka area. Soldiers from sector 2 pushed them back twice, before reinforcements were deployed to neighbouring localities. According to the headquarters of Operation FANSAN YAMMA, a combat aircraft spotted a group attempting to take away a large herd of probably stolen cattle; air strikes targeted the group, and the army claims to have neutralised dozens of them.
In Kaduna State, soldiers from sector 1 killed a suspect during a patrol near fields in the village of Aguba, in the Kajuru area. The search seized two homemade rifles, a phone, substances presumed to be cannabis and airtime top-up cards. On the Buruku–Kaduna road, armed men fled into a nearby forest after an exchange of fire, abandoning two motorbikes, which the military recovered. The pursuit is ongoing to prevent them from regrouping.
