The United States launched a "powerful and lethal" attack overnight against ISIS elements in western Nigeria . Donald Trump reported in Truth that the Pentagon's strikes against terrorists "who targeted and brutally killed, above all, innocent Christians" were numerous and "perfect."
"Under my leadership, our country will not allow radical Islamic terrorism to thrive. God bless our military and MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone, including the dead terrorists, of whom there will be many more if their massacre of Christians continues," Trump wrote.
Tonight, under my direction as Commander-in-Chief—the full message—the United States launched a powerful and lethal attack against the ISIS terrorist scum in northwest Nigeria, which has targeted and brutally murdered, primarily innocent Christians , on a scale not seen in many years, even centuries. I have already warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the massacre of Christians, they would suffer hell, and tonight they did. The War Department executed numerous flawless attacks, as only the United States can do.
The attack, the US military command in Nigeria announced, was carried out "at the request of the Nigerian authorities" in Sokoto State. Several terrorists were killed.
"The president was clear last month," Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth commented, "the killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria (and elsewhere) must end. The War Department is always ready, as ISIS discovered tonight, on Christmas Day." Hegseth thanked the Nigerian government for its support and cooperation.
Nigeria's Foreign Ministry confirmed that the United States had launched "precision strikes against terrorist targets in Nigeria through airstrikes." "Nigerian authorities remain committed to structured security cooperation with international partners, including the United States, to address the persistent threat of terrorism and violent extremism."
