Video footage has surfaced online following reports that the United States president, Donald Trump, authorized a military airstrike against suspected terrorist groups operating in Nigeria.
The development has generated widespread reactions across social media platforms, as many users shared and debated the authenticity and implications of the clips circulating online.
It would be recalled that the airstrike was reportedly authorized by the United States government in response to renewed and deadly attacks carried out by extremist groups in parts of northern Nigeria, which have left several civilians dead and communities displaced.
Trump speaks on targeting terrorists
According to available reports, the military operation specifically targeted terrorist hideouts and enclaves believed to be linked to ISIS-affiliated factions operating within Nigeria.
These groups have been accused of orchestrating repeated and coordinated assaults on civilians, security personnel, and religious communities, including attacks on Christian settlements in the region.
The strike, which was approved by President Donald Trump in his role as commander-in-chief of the United States armed forces, has been described by U.S. officials as a strategic counterterrorism mission.
Officials stated that the objective of the operation was to significantly degrade the operational capacity of the militants, disrupt their supply chains, and prevent further attacks on innocent civilians.
While the Nigerian government has yet to issue a detailed statement on the development, the incident has continued to dominate discussions both locally and internationally.
Video footage of the bombs launching
Following the announcement of the airstrike, video clips alleged to show the exact moment the bombs were launched began circulating widely on social media.
The footage, which has attracted thousands of views and reactions, shows what appears to be aerial bombardment and explosions, although the authenticity of the clips has not been independently verified.
Many social media users have described the videos as disturbing, while others praised the move as a decisive response to terrorism.
