In the Northwest, soldiers taking part in Operation FANSAN YAMMA confronted terrorists in several skirmishes. Troops from 1 Brigade responded to an assault in the Baigasuwa community of Maradun Local Government Area in Zamfara State. This action led to the retreat of the armed groups, enabling the rescue of residents, although four civilians suffered gunshot wounds during the confrontation.

In the nearby Kebbi State, terrorists attacked a Nigeria Immigration Service checkpoint in Bagudo, resulting in the fatalities of three personnel and damage to operational vehicles. However, troops later rescued five adults and an infant along the Unashi and Doka axis in Danko Wasagu Local Government Area after the captors fled upon noticing the military approach.

In the North Central region, troops engaged in Operation MESA along the Kogi and Kwara corridor managed to rescue four kidnapped individuals following a clash with insurgents at Konan Leda in Lokoja. Eleven other victims escaped amid the chaos following the military raid. Recovered items at the scene included two motorcycles and a radio communication device. Additionally, another victim was freed in the Kwali Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory.

The campaign against oil theft has also produced results as Operation Delta Safe ramped up its patrols in the South South region. In Eleme, Rivers State, soldiers working alongside other security forces uncovered 350 sacks containing an estimated 10,500 liters of stolen crude oil. A patrol team in Bonny retrieved abandoned equipment used for oil theft, including jerrycans, hoses, and a boat engine, after the suspects vacated the area. Meanwhile, forces operating in the Northeast theater under Operation HADIN KAI, including those in the Desert Sanity IV initiative, continued their clearance and security patrols across essential routes without any significant adverse incidents.
