Trump Claims U.S. Airstrikes Target ISIS in Nigeria

Former U.S. President, Donald Trump has announced that American forces conducted airstrikes against ISIS-affiliated militants in northeastern Nigeria. The statement, released on his official Facebook page on Christmas Day, states that the operation was aimed at terrorist groups reportedly responsible for attacks on Christian communities in that region. Trump emphasized that the U.S. would not tolerate extremist groups threatening innocent lives. However, neither the U.S. Department of Defense nor Nigerian authorities have independently verified the specifics of the alleged airstrikes. Northeast Nigeria has long been a hotspot for extremist groups like ISIS and Boko Haram, leading to numerous attacks on civilians and religious communities. Readers should note that the source of this information is solely a social media statement from Trump, and further verification may be needed.
