(SeaPRwire) –   U.S. and Nigerian forces conducted fresh airstrikes on ISIS fighters in Nigeria, as reported by U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), just days after an operation resulted in the death of a senior ISIS leader.

AFRICOM stated that the additional military strikes were carried out on Monday in collaboration with the Nigerian government. While comprehensive assessments are still underway, it was noted that no American or Nigerian troops were injured during the mission.

“The elimination of these terrorists weakens the group’s ability to orchestrate attacks that endanger the safety and security of the United States and our allies,” AFRICOM declared.

The latest operations follow President Donald Trump’s announcement late Friday that U.S. and Nigerian forces had killed Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, whom he identified as the global second-in-command of ISIS.

“Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, the number two leader of ISIS worldwide, believed he could evade capture in Africa, but little did he know we had intelligence sources monitoring his activities closely,” Trump wrote on Truth Social at the time. “He will no longer threaten the people of Africa or assist in planning operations aimed at targeting Americans.”

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth confirmed Saturday that U.S. forces, working alongside the Armed Forces of Nigeria, had eliminated al-Minuki and other high-ranking ISIS leaders.

“For months, we pursued this top ISIS operative in Nigeria who was responsible for killing Christians—and we succeeded in eliminating him along with his entire inner circle,” Hegseth remarked.

The update also follows U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM)’s statement that it had launched multiple strikes against more than 30 ISIS targets in Syria in February as part of a joint military campaign to “maintain continuous military pressure on the remnants of the terrorist organization.”
