US, Nigeria Launch Fresh Strikes on ISIS Targets After Killing Second-In-Command | Firstpost Africa

The Trump administration is escalating its counter-terrorism campaign in West Africa through a powerful wave of coordinated US-Nigeria airstrikes. Sparked by recent intelligence, the US Africa Command (AFRICOM) and Nigerian forces executed an aerial assault in northeast Nigeria, killing at least 20 Islamic State terrorists. This operation follows the major elimination of Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, ISIS’s global director of operations and international second-in-command. As Africa becomes the global epicentre for Islamist militancy, Washington has deployed hundreds of troops to assist local forces with intelligence sharing and tactical training. While military officials hail these joint operations as a significant victory, security experts warn that high-profile losses could provoke immediate, deadly retaliation against local military bases.
