U.S. airstrikes in Nigeria targeted ISIS militants on Dec. 25, 2025, at Nigeria’s request, amid rising violence.
The U.S. conducted airstrikes in northwest Nigeria on December 25, 2025, targeting Islamic State militants in Sokoto State, according to President Donald Trump and U.S. Africa Command.
Trump announced the operation on Truth Social, claiming it was a response to a surge in violence against Christians and described the strikes as "powerful and deadly."
The U.S. acted at Nigeria’s request, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth praising Nigerian cooperation.
While Trump cited religious persecution, Nigerian officials emphasized the conflict’s complex roots in ethnic, communal, and resource-based tensions, not solely religion.
The strikes followed a similar U.S.-led campaign in Syria.
No casualties were disclosed.
