US Congressman Credits Airstrikes With Preventing Christmas Terror Attacks in Nigeria

U.S. Congressman Riley Moore attributed the absence of mass Christmas attacks on Christian communities in Nigeria this year to American military intervention. According to Moore, previous years saw deadly assaults during the festive season, but this year, U.S. forces carried out strikes against Islamist militants in coordination with the Nigerian government. The operation, approved by President Bola Tinubu, targeted ISIS camps in Sokoto State, deploying 16 GPS-guided munitions from MQ-9 Reaper drones. No civilian casualties were reported. The strike aimed to prevent planned terrorist attacks and secure the region, with further operations promised if militants continued their activities.
