The US Department of War released this night unclassified footage of a cruise-missile destroyer launching a BGM-109 Tomahawk Land-Attack Missile against Islamic State (ISIS) positions in northwestern Nigeria in coordination with the Nigerian authorities, in response to the massacres carried out by ISIS against the Christians in the country.

The strike was seemingly carried out by the Arleigh Burke-class USS Paul Ignatius (DDG-117) guided-missile destroyer with the US Navy.

Cambodians operate the Chinese PHL-81 and 90B MLRSs, both with a 4x10 barrel configuration. On the other hand, this system featured in the video got a weird 6x11 configuration.

Probably AI generated video, no MLRS operators stand this close while the system is firing.

According to a private source familiar with the US operation against the Islamic State in Nigeria, several strikes were launched, but most of the individuals and groups targeted were missed, and the actual damage inflicted remains mostly unknown. More strikes are being planned for the coming days.

This was likely a symbolic start to official U.S. operations in Nigeria, which began on Christmas Day. The operational results of the strikes are not significant, but much is expected soon, not only in the northwest but in the northeast as well.

The coming strikes are also expected to be carried out by an American UAV, probably an MQ-9 Reaper drone.
