Trump Launches Airstrikes on ISIS in Nigeria, Targeting Christian Attacks

President Donald Trump has authorized multiple airstrikes on ISIS militants in North West Nigeria, particularly in Sokoto State near the Niger border. The operation targets fighters accused of killing mainly Christians.

The White House has cited escalating violence against Christians in Nigeria, prompting the Pentagon to prepare for possible actions due to the Nigerian government's alleged failure to protect persecuted religious communities. The airstrikes are seen as part of ongoing international security cooperation against terrorist threats in the region.
