Nigeria's Office of the National Security Adviser claims security agencies conducted 7,062 operations and killed 1,487 terrorists in July-August, citing improved coordination and intelligence-driven tactics. The figures are unverified and likely inflated for political messaging, but they signal sustained counterinsurgency pressure in the northeast and other regions. This continues an established pattern of government reporting, with no independent corroboration.
