US AIRSTRIKE IN KADUNA: FAKE NEWS.
Here’s what’s verifiable right now about the reports of airstrikes in Kaduna:
1. No confirmed U.S. airstrikes in Kaduna specifically
There’s no credible evidence from reliable news sources that the United States conducted airstrikes in Kaduna State yesterday or today. Claims circulating on social media about U.S. jets bombing terrorist hideouts in Kaduna are unverified and widely flagged as false or misleading by fact-checkers.

2. Nigerian Air Force has conducted air operations in northern states.
In late 2025, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) carried out counter-terrorism and counter-banditry airstrikes that included targets in Kaduna State and other northern states* as part of ongoing operations.

These were Nigerian military operations, not reported as U.S. actions.
3. Recent confirmed U.S. action was in Sokoto State
On December 25, 2025, U.S. forces conducted airstrikes against Islamic State-linked militants in Sokoto State (northwestern Nigeria), in coordination with Nigerian authorities — but this was not in Kaduna State.

📍 Bottom Line (as of this morning)
There are reports and social media chatter about explosions or military action in Kaduna, but no confirmed U.S. airstrike there yesterday from credible sources.
If there were Nigerian Air Force operations, they would be part of ongoing counter-terror efforts, not a sudden U.S-led military strike in Kaduna.
Any reports claiming U.S. involvement in Kaduna airstrikes right now are not yet validated by major media or official statements.
