The UAE Ministry of Defence said on Saturday that its air defence systems intercepted several of the incoming missiles and drones, calling the assault a significant escalation in regional tensions. According to its statement on X, air defence units engaged nine ballistic missiles and 33 drones during the March 14 attack, which left six dead and 141 injured, including foreign nationals.
Meanwhile, Nigeria’s Defence Minister, Christopher Musa, linked the increase in attacks to terrorists’ belief that dying during combat guarantees them entry to paradise, particularly during Ramadan. “As usual during Ramadan, these terrorists believe that death brings them to heaven, so they are willing to commit offenses or sacrifice themselves for their cause,” he said.
Why Boko Haram and ISWAP Are Targeting Military Bases
In northern Nigeria, a surge of coordinated attacks by Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) on military formations and civilian communities is raising fears of a renewed insurgency.
In the past three weeks alone, at least 65 Nigerian soldiers have been killed in assaults across Borno and Katsina states. Security experts say the attacks are part of a calculated effort by insurgents to reclaim territory and reinforce control in parts of the North-East.
