US President Donald Trump says Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, a senior Islamic State (ISIS) figure, is killed in Africa in a joint operation involving American and Nigerian forces. Multiple outlets report that Trump made the announcement on social media, describing al-Minuki as the “most active terrorist” in the world and saying the mission eliminated him. Euronews and the BBC describe the operation as carefully planned and carried out by US and Nigerian forces, with Trump characterizing it as complex. Times of India reports that al-Minuki is identified as ISIS’s global second-in-command and frames the operation as reducing ISIS’s capacity, including claims that he was involved in planning attacks against Americans and efforts to destabilize Africa. Across the reports, the central points are consistent: the target is Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, the location is described as Africa, and the strike is described as a US-Nigeria joint mission carried out at Trump’s direction. The outlets do not provide independent additional details such as the exact site or timing beyond Trump’s announcement.
