U.S. airstrikes in Nigeria’s Sokoto State targeted ISIS-linked militants amid regional instability and civilian violence.
The U.S. conducted airstrikes in northwest Nigeria on December 25, 2025, targeting Islamic State-affiliated militants in Sokoto State, according to U.S. officials and President Donald Trump.
The strikes, carried out in coordination with Nigerian forces, aimed to disrupt extremist activities and respond to violence against civilians, particularly Christians.
The targeted group is likely the Islamic State Sahel Province (ISSP), also known as Lakurawa, which has expanded from Niger into Nigeria amid regional instability following a 2023 coup.
While the U.S. emphasized strategic cooperation, Nigerian civil society leaders questioned the operation’s legality, claiming it lacked formal government approval.
The full impact remains unverified, and analysts note the violence affects both Christian and Muslim communities.
