Nigeria air strike kills 100

A devastating air strike targeting jihadi insurgents in northeastern Nigeria resulted in a massive loss of civilian life on Saturday night.

Witnesses and rights groups report that the strike hit a crowded market in Jilli village, killing over 100 people, including women and children.

The Nigerian Air Force initially claimed to have struck a terrorist enclave but later announced an investigation following reports of a "misfire." This tragedy highlights the ongoing risks to non-combatants in the decade-long conflict against Boko Haram and other militant groups.
