Nigeria Airstrike Kills Over 100

A devastating military operation in northeastern Nigeria has resulted in mass civilian casualties after a jet struck a crowded market in Jilli village.

While the Nigerian Air Force initially claimed to have hit a terrorist logistics hub, survivors and human rights groups report that the victims were primarily local traders and shoppers.

This incident highlights the ongoing risk to non-combatants in the decade-long conflict against jihadi insurgencies in the region.

Local officials have confirmed the misfire, and pressure is mounting on the government to provide transparency and accountability for the strike.
