A Nigerian Air Force strike targeting jihadi rebels hit a local market in northeastern Nigeria, killing over 100 civilians including children and injuring many others, a rights group and local media reported. Officials confirmed a misfire on Sunday but did not provide details. Amnesty International said it confirmed from survivors that at least 100 people were killed in the airstrike on a village in Yobe state. The state government confirmed that a Nigerian military strike was targeting a Boko Haram stronghold in the area and that “some people” at the Jilli weekly market were affected.
