US President Donald Trump has announced a “powerful and deadly” strike against ISIS targets in northwestern Nigeria.
Writing on Truth Social, Trump confirmed that the operation was conducted under his direct orders as Commander-in-Chief to dismantle terrorist networks in the region.
In his statement, Trump condemned the militants for their brutal campaign against innocent Christians, describing their violence as historic in scale.
He asserted that the United States is taking decisive action to halt the slaughter and protect vulnerable communities from extremist groups.
The strike signals an aggressive military stance by the Trump administration regarding counter-terrorism in Africa.
With Nigeria facing escalating sectarian violence and insurgent activity, this direct US intervention marks a significant escalation in efforts to combat instability in West Africa.
