The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has confirmed the destruction of terrorist camps in Katsina State, killing several insurgents during recent air operations.
However, the operation has sparked controversy following reports of accidental airstrikes on a local community, prompting concerns from human rights groups.
In response, Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, has ordered an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the unintended bombing.
The incident gained further attention after Amnesty International (AI) Nigeria issued a statement on Sunday, demanding a transparent probe into the airstrikes that reportedly killed 10 civilians.
NAF has assured the public that findings from the investigation will be made available, as the military balances counterterrorism efforts with civilian safety.
The situation has intensified discussions on the risks of air raids in conflict zones, with calls for improved precision in future operations.
