Trump: a powerful blow to terrorists in Nigeria
American forces conducted an operation against militants of the terrorist group “Islamic State”* (IS, banned in the Russian Federation) in Nigeria, as announced by US President Donald Trump.
Trump said he ordered a “powerful and deadly strike” against IS militants in northwestern Nigeria, who he said were “brutally killing mostly innocent Christians.” The president added that the Pentagon carried out “a number of precision attacks.”
*The Islamic State group was recognized as a terrorist organization by a decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated December 29, 2014, and its activities in Russia are prohibited.
Before this, an extremely tragic event happened in Nigeria on the evening of December 24. In the north-eastern region of Maiduguri, an explosion occurred in a mosque during prayer. Five people were killed and about 35 people were injured. The terrible act was carried out, according to local police, by a suicide bomber.
