A Nigerian Air Force strike targeting suspected jihadist rebels hit a crowded market in northeastern Nigeria, killing more than 100 civilians and injuring many others, according to Amnesty International and local media reports cited by Associated Press.
The incident reportedly occurred on Saturday in Yobe state near the border with Borno, a region long affected by insurgency.
Officials confirm ‘misfire’
Authorities acknowledged that the strike had gone wrong but provided limited details. The Yobe State Government said the operation was aimed at a Boko Haram stronghold, but confirmed that civilians at the Jilli weekly market were among those affected.
This is a developing story.
