A series of military airstrikes in northeastern Nigeria have resulted in devastating civilian casualties, with reports indicating that at least 100 to 200 civilians have been killed in an apparent misfire targeting jihadist militants. The airstrike hit a market in Yobe state, leading to widespread condemnation and fears of unlawful use of force. Rights groups and media have reported the tragic incident as a significant escalation in violence amid ongoing military clashes with Boko Haram and other militant groups. The Nigerian military has defended its actions, stating the attacks targeted ISWAP logistics but acknowledged tragic errors occurred. Amnesty International has urged accountability as the civilian toll continues to rise.
