NAF airstrikes kill children in Niger
Six children fetching water have been reportedly killed by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) air strike in Kuregba community of Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger on Wednesday
Houses were also destroyed.
The air component of the Joint Security Operatives mistakenly struck the community while trying to bomb out the hideouts of terrorists in part of the local government.
The spokesman of Coalition of Shiroro Associations, Salis Mohammed Sabo, said the incident happened in the morning when the children were fetching water from a motorised borehole within the Kurebe community.
“The terrorists’ camps are well known. The terrorists around the community are of two groups, with two different camps. One links up with the community through Unguwan Zomo, the other through Kwantan Yashi area,” he told the Daily Trust.
The air force authorities have not spoken officially on the matter.
