Nigeria air strike kills 100

Tragedy has struck northeastern Nigeria after an Air Force strike intended for a 'terrorist enclave' hit a village market in Jilli.

Survivors and local rights groups report a devastating death toll, including many children, as the market was crowded at the time of the attack.

While the military initially claimed a successful operation against Boko Haram, it has since launched an internal probe following reports of civilian casualties.

The incident highlights the ongoing risks to non-combatants in the protracted conflict against jihadi insurgencies in the region.
