"It was almost like daytime."
"powerful and deadly strike"
"Our rooms began to shake, and then fire broke out,"
A nighttime U.S. strike hit an alleged Islamic State camp near the village of Jabo, where residents heard a loud crash and saw the sky glow bright red. The United States announced a "powerful and deadly strike," and the Nigerian government confirmed cooperation. Officials said the attacks launched from the Gulf of Guinea shortly after midnight used "16 GPS-guided precision" missiles and MQ-9 Reaper drones to target areas described as "staging grounds by foreign" IS fighters from the Sahel. Villagers reported intense heat, shaking rooms, fires on the outskirts, panic, and no civilian casualties; militant casualty figures were not released.
