The United States military bombed a group in Nigeria. This happened in Sokoto State on Christmas Day. The group is an Islamist group. Former President Donald Trump called them "ISIS Terrorist Scum."
US Africa Command said the bombs hit "Isis camps." Many terrorists died. But we still have questions. We do not know the exact target. The number of dead people is not clear.
The bombing was in the Tangaza area. This area has problems. US Africa Command said it was a good hit. They said the group killed innocent Christians.
Some people think the group is called Lakurawa. They might take money from people. They also make people follow strict rules. Other groups also cause violence there.
Pieces of bombs fell in Jabo town. This town was far away. A hotel was also damaged. It was very far from the target.
A researcher said about 100 fighters died. 200 others are missing. This is many people.
US officials said this was one event. It might show they are fighting threats. But it is not clear why Lakurawa was bombed. US and Nigerian leaders have not shared much. Things are still unclear.
