The strikes targeted ISIS militants accused of killing Christians after coordinated efforts between U.S. and Nigerian forces, marking the first U.S. airstrikes in Nigeria.
- On Dec. 26, 2025, the U.S. launched strikes in Sokoto State, northwest Nigeria, on Christmas Day at President Donald Trump's and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's direction, with Trump saying the military `executed numerous perfect strikes`.

- Nigeria's foreign ministry confirmed intelligence sharing and coordination with the U.S., with Tuggar telling CNN `We are ready, willing and able to collaborate, coordinate with any foreign government that is committed to the fight against terrorism` after two calls with Secretary Rubio.

- Experts say the violence is regionally complex and affects multiple communities, with Nnamdi Obasi noting both Christians and Muslims, who make up around 60%, have been targeted and groups like Lakurawa since 2017 and ISSP complicate counterterrorism.
