Video Footage Emerges After Reported U.S. Airstrike on Terrorist Targets in Nigeria
Video footage has begun circulating online following reports that the United States carried out a military airstrike targeting terrorist enclaves in parts of northern Nigeria.
According to multiple reports, the operation was authorized by the U.S. government as part of a counterterrorism response to renewed attacks by extremist groups operating within the region. The affected areas have experienced persistent violence in recent years, with civilians bearing the brunt of assaults attributed to ISIS-affiliated factions.
Sources indicate that the strike was approved by former U.S. President Donald Trump in his capacity as commander-in-chief, with the objective of weakening the operational capabilities of the militants and preventing further attacks on vulnerable communities, including Christian populations frequently targeted by the groups.
U.S. officials reportedly described the action as a precision counterterrorism operation designed to disrupt terrorist strongholds and degrade their ability to carry out coordinated attacks.Eyes Of Lagos reports,
Following the reports, several video clips alleged to capture the moment of the airstrike — including the launch of munitions — have surfaced on social media platforms. While the authenticity of the footage has not been independently verified, the clips have generated widespread discussion online and renewed attention on the security challenges facing Nigeria’s northern region.
As of the time of this report, neither Nigerian authorities nor the U.S. Department of Defense has released detailed operational information or confirmed casualties linked to the reported strike.
Security analysts note that the development underscores ongoing international concern over extremist activity in West Africa and the continued collaboration between Nigeria and its global partners in counterterrorism efforts.
