Residents in the village of Jabo in northwestern Nigeria’s Sokoto State who spoke to Al Jazeera said the air strike did not result in any casualties.

Abdulrahman Mainasara, a Jabo resident, explained that Thursday night’s attack struck an already cultivated farmland behind a primary school at the outskirts of the village.

Abulrahman visited the scene last night, took some pictures and witnessed how some locals carried debris from the scene.

“The bomb fell and burst into many pieces. There were two big pieces of debris. One of them was carried by two people,” he told Al Jazeera on Friday.

The article concludes:

While armed fighters, locally known as bandits, operate in Nigeria’s northwest, their operations are mostly in the eastern part of Sokoto State and not the southern part of the state where the US attacked.

The first airstrike targeting ISIL (ISIS) fighters in northwest Nigeria for (in the words of Krasnov), "targeted and viciously” (killing) “primarily, innocent Christians, at ⁠levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries!”

The real motive must be some kind of profit.

1. So, he's going to restart the Crusades?

[Javaman]

11. I think that's been part of the unwritten plan for project 2025 nt

[Coldwater]

2. Wasn't it in 2018

that trump said" America will no longer police the rest of the world"

[Lovie777]

3. Yep..............

but profit outweighs that.

And shithole nor comrades care about christianity.

[TexLaProgressive]

4. He's attacking another oil rich country. Why? I have my guesses.

[gab13by13]

5. Kill Them All

Maybe wasn't meant just for people on fishing boats?

[dem4decades]

6. So we're bombing farmers in Nigeria and fisherman in Venezuela?

I've never been so proud of my country, when are we going after hunters and gatherers? They're the most dangerous.

7. Ah. Another oil rich country, another easy target.

on the "easy target" part.
Ya know, the rest of the world has joked about "stupid americans" for years--sadly, it is no longer a joke.

[Ocelot II]

8. Nigeria has oil. QED.

[tavernier]

9. I get the feeling that he's just bombing randomly over there

to tell his followers that he’s saving Christian lives. I don’t think he really cares who gets killed as long as he looks good to them. And now there is something to do with oil?? Hmm, interesting.

10. The whole world has to realize that if Trump orders attacks, there is something in it for him. The man is insane for

money and power. He does not care one iota for any other human being.

[chowder66]

12. Hegseth needs to be removed along with Trump over these psychotic attacks.

[flashman13]

13. I think this is more like, "hold my beer - watch this". He just wants to flex whatever he's got to flex.

Just another Epstein diversion.

14. Christians?

If conservatives really cared about Christians, they would be pushing for clergy to be allowed into ICE facilities.

[Bayard]

15. The Gang Who Couldn't Shoot Straight

No where near what they were supposedly aiming at, and threatening much needed crop land and a school. How courageous.

trump and Kegbreath are just picking random countries to bomb now that have weak military. They just like to see things go--BOOM.
