Former U.S. President Donald J. Trump has claimed that the United States carried out a military strike against ISIS targets in northwest Nigeria, describing the operation as a response to attacks on Christians in the region.
In a statement released on Thursday night, on X Trump said the strike was conducted at his direction and targeted what he described as ISIS fighters responsible for the killing of innocent civilians, particularly Christians.
He characterized the operation as “powerful” and said it involved multiple successful strikes.
Trump alleged that the militant group had been carrying out violent attacks at levels “not seen for many years” and said the action was intended to halt further killings.
He warned that continued violence against Christians would be met with additional force.
“The United States will not allow radical Islamic terrorism to prosper,” Trump said, praising the U.S. military and its capabilities.
The statement did not provide details on the location of the strike, the number of casualties, or whether Nigerian authorities were involved or notified.
There was no immediate confirmation from U.S. defense officials or the Nigerian government regarding the claims.
Trump concluded the message by commending the U.S. military and extending Christmas greetings.
