Trump Orders US Military Strike Against Terrorists in Nigeria

US President Donald Trump has ordered American forces to conduct a military strike against a terrorist group operating in northwest Nigeria. The action, aimed at militants accused of sustained attacks in the region, was announced on December 25.

Trump described the target as ISIS-linked fighters and accused them of targeting civilians, especially Christians. The Nigerian government confirmed the foreign military strike but did not disclose operational details or casualty figures.

Northwest Nigeria has faced increasing attacks by armed groups, leading to mass displacements and loss of life.
