The US has launched airstrikes against Islamic State militants in Nigeria.
In a post on X, Defense Secretary Hegseth said there will be "more to come."
The US president accuses the group of killing Christians, as Nigeria’s foreign minister tells the BBC the strikes were a "joint operation" and "nothing to do" with religion.
President Donald Trump said that he ordered “numerous” strikes on alleged terror targets in northwest Nigeria on Christmas Day
Donald Trump said US forces conducted "powerful and deadly" strikes against Islamic State in Nigeria for killing Christians in the country.
The strikes come after President Trump spent weeks accusing the West African country's government of failing to rein in the persecution of Christians.
US president says 'deadly strike' in Nigeria targeted ISIL fighters who killed 'primarily, innocent Christians'.
