Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dan Ronan. President Trump on Christmas Day said the U.S. military launched what he called a powerful and deadly strikes against the Islamic State forces in Nigeria.

The Pentagon released a video alongside a statement from the president calling it an unclassified clip showing a missile being fired from a ship. The attack came after Trump spent several weeks accusing the leadership of that West African nation of failing

Since then, there have been attacks, but not on that scale and not with that regularity.
