<p>In the early hours of Friday, December 26, 2025, a statement from the United States President Donald Trump was published by the Truth Social, disclosing that an airstrike exercise has been carried out on Sokoto, a state from the northwestern part of the country of Nigeria.</p>
<p>In the statement published by the platform, the U.S President mentioned that the airstrike was targeted at some ISIS terrorists believed to have enclaves in the affected location.</p>
<p>Confirming the incident, the Nigerian government revealed that the said attack from the United States was a coordinated efforts by both countries aimed at weakening the terrorists.</p><div class="NBujCkNj" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>The question hence emerged: were the said terrorists killed?</p>
<p>As of the time of filing this report, no substantial report from either the War Department of United States government or the Defense Headquarters of Nigeria has been given on the outcome of the late-night attack.</p>
<p>What both countries were reported to have said was that the strike was a successful one, as it had hit those targeted at.</p>
<p>On the contrary, HumAngle reported from the scene of the incident that the heavy artillery shell landed on an expanse of cultivated farm field in the area. When locals arrived at the scene, they found shrapnel scattered in the community and wondered where the strike had emerged. No casualties were recorded, according to locals who spoke to HumAngle. They noted that such an incident was unusual to them, as the area has not witnessed any terrorist attack in years, a resident narrated to HumAngle.</p>
<p>The locals further stated that they have combed the entire Birikinin village and have found no civilians or terrorists hit by the US strike.</p>
<p>However, they fear that this singular strike might cause the terrorists to beam searchlights on them. Unlike places like Isa, Sabon Birni, and Gada, which have had deadly terrorist attacks in the past, Jabo seems to be a haven for locals seeking calm and tranquillity in the state. The locals wondered why the US strike ignored terrorist enclaves.</p>
<p>Since news of the incident broke, the social media space has been filled with debates and controversial takes on whether the strike truly did its job. If it did not, then there&#8217;s every excuse to panic, as the true intent of the exercise is not attainable.</p>
