Military sources have confirmed that recent U.S. Navy precision strikes on terrorist targets in North West Nigeria were carefully executed, with only confirmed terrorist combatants and their logistics hubs destroyed.
The sources said the operation was carried out in close coordination with the Nigerian military, following extensive intelligence gathering and surveillance. Targets included terrorist hideouts, weapons storage facilities, supply routes, and command centres used to support ongoing attacks.
According to the military, strict rules of engagement were applied to prevent civilian casualties, and no non-combatants or civilian infrastructure were affected during the strikes.
Describing the mission as highly successful, the sources noted that the operation significantly weakened the operational capabilities of the targeted terrorist groups and disrupted their logistics and coordination networks.
They added that the joint operation underscores continued cooperation between Nigeria and its international partners in combating terrorism and improving national and regional security. Follow-up assessments are ongoing to fully determine the impact of the strikes.
