PHOTOS: Scenes from Sokoto communities hit by US strikes

Residents of Tangaza and Tambuwal in Sokoto State were thrown into panic Thursday as the United States launched military operation on terrorist targets in the North Western part of Nigeria.

President Donald Trump announced the military action in a Social Media post late Thursday.

Residents of Tangaza and Tambuwal local government areas of Sokoto State have confirmed separate drone attacks on their communities, carried out by the United States military.

Findings by our correspondent indicate that one of the attacks occurred in Jabo District of Tambuwal Local Government Area, a community previously not affected by insecurity.

Nigeria’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, has said the airstrikes were part of ongoing joint operations between Nigeria and the United States.
