The United States says it carried out air strikes against what it calls “ISIS fighters” in Nigeria on Christmas night, according to a report by Fox News.
US President Donald Trump announced the operation in a statement, saying the strikes were ordered by him as commander-in-chief and targeted ISIS elements operating in northwestern Nigeria. He said the action followed recent attacks attributed to the group and warned that further strikes could follow.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries!” Trump said Thursday on Truth Social. “I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was. The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing.
“Under my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper,” he continued. “May God Bless our Military, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists, of which there will be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues.”
President Trump alleged that the militants had been responsible for killings of civilians, framing the operation as part of broader US efforts to counter extremist violence.
He did not provide details on the precise location of the strikes, the number of targets hit, or casualties resulting from the operation.
