On December 25, 2025, the United States conducted military strikes against Islamic State militants in northwestern Nigeria. President Donald Trump described these strikes as a "Christmas present" aimed at combating terrorism and protecting Christians in the region. The strikes targeted camps in Sokoto state, which is near the border with Niger.
Details of the Operation
Type of Strikes: The operation involved the launch of 16 Tomahawk missiles.
Targets: The strikes aimed at militant camps associated with the Islamic State group, particularly a smaller faction known as Lakurawa.
Casualties: While US and Nigerian officials reported that militants were killed, specific casualty figures remain unclear. Some missiles failed to explode, landing in various locations without causing significant damage.
Context and Reactions
The strikes were part of a broader US strategy to address rising violence from Islamic State-linked groups in Nigeria, which has seen an increase in attacks on Christians and other civilians. The Nigerian government supported the operation, emphasizing that it was a joint effort based on prior intelligence.
In response to the strikes, US lawmakers have warned Nigeria about the consequences of ongoing persecution of Christians, suggesting that further military action could occur if such issues persist. This has sparked criticism and debate within Nigeria regarding the motives behind US military involvement.
