refining sites and seven Cotonou boats as well as dispersed five J-5 buses attempting to siphon crude oil products from surface tanks in Rivers, Bayelsa and Imo states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A statement by the director of Public Relations and Information, Air Vice Marshal Edward Gabkwet, said that an airstrike conducted on 18 June 2024 destroyed illegal refining sites near Imo River with seven overhead tanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, on June 19, 2024, airstrikes conducted at Wilcourt in Rivers State destroyed an illegal site and canoe filled with illegally refined products, as well as some gunboats.Dinosaurs Spine at Hang Dong, Ta Xua, Son La seen from above<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He stated further that following an intelligence report of some illegal refining sites located about 6km from Tunu in Bayelsa State, the aircrew struck the location with precision airstrikes, leading to its destruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, on June 22, 2024, the aircrew spotted five J5 buses, \u201cprobably reconfigured into mini tankers\u201d, at the bank of Imo River, attempting to siphon illegally refined products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the aircrew engaged the economic saboteurs and destroyed the illegal refining sites feeding the buses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3

cover under trees to avoid detection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AVM Gabkwet said air strikes against economic saboteurs and oil thieves have continued to record the expected outcomes majorly due to improved intelligence, enhanced air-to-ground coordination, and, most importantly, due to NAF\u2019s improved agility and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He assured that these operations will be sustained until the activities of these saboteurs are reduced to the barest minimum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Air Component of
