In a tragic incident on Saturday, a Nigerian military jet mistakenly bombed Zakka village in Katsina State, resulting in the deaths of at least six civilians. The airstrike occurred in the Safana district after armed bandits had attacked a local police base, killing two policemen and a vigilante. According to local residents, the military jet targeted a cluster of huts on the village's outskirts, leading to the fatalities. Amnesty International has called for an immediate and transparent investigation into the incident. This event adds to a series of similar accidental airstrikes in northern Nigeria, raising concerns about the military's operational protocols.
