U.S. and Nigerian forces launched another strike against ISIS fighters<\/a> in Nigeria, according to U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), just days after they carried out an operation that killed a global ISIS leader.<\/p>\n

AFRICOM said it conducted the additional kinetic strikes against ISIS militants on Monday in coordination with Nigeria\u2019s government. It said complete assessments are ongoing, though noted that no U.S. or Nigerian forces were harmed during the operation.<\/p>\n

“The removal of these terrorists diminishes the group\u2019s capacity to plan attacks that threaten the safety and security of the U.S. and our partners,” AFRICOM said.<\/p>\n

The strikes come after President Donald Trump announced late Friday<\/a> that U.S. and Nigerian forces killed Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, whom he described as ISIS\u2019s second-in-command globally.<\/p>\n

“Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of ISIS globally, thought he\u00a0could hide in Africa, but little did he know we had sources who kept us informed on what he was doing,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social at the time. “He will no longer terrorize the people of Africa, or help plan operations to target Americans.”<\/p>\n

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth<\/a> confirmed Saturday that U.S. forces, in coordination with the Armed Forces of Nigeria, killed al-Minuki and other ISIS leaders.<\/p>\n

“So, for months, we hunted this top ISIS leader in Nigeria who was killing Christians, and we killed him \u2014 and his entire posse,” Hegseth wrote.<\/p>\n

The announcement also comes after U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said it carried out multiple strikes against\u00a0more than 30 ISIS targets\u00a0in Syria in February as part of a joint military effort to “sustain relentless military pressure on remnants from the terrorist network.”<\/p>\n
