Nigeria’s government is denying reports that its Air Force mistakenly bombed a crowded market on Saturday, after Amnesty International reported over 100 civilians, including children, were killed in an attack on the village of Jilli in Yobe state. The village is near the border of Borno state, the epicenter of a Boko Haram insurgency that has ravaged the region for over a decade. In a statement, a spokesperson for Nigeria’s president called the market a legitimate military target, adding, “The narrative that those who were killed are innocent civilians is totally false.” The Nigerian military regularly bombs vast forest enclaves to battle Boko Haram and Islamic State groups operating throughout the region.
