The strikes took place on December 25 in parts of northwestern Nigeria, following growing attacks linked to ISIS-affiliated groups operating in the region.
US War Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed that the operation was carried out with the knowledge and backing of the Nigerian government, describing it as a coordinated counterterrorism effort.
The Nigerian government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said President Bola Tinubu approved the operation after high-level consultations, stressing that it was a joint action aimed at protecting lives and property.

Officials explained that the operation was designed to weaken terror networks, prevent further civilian killings, and support Nigeria’s ongoing fight against insecurity without targeting any religious group.
