Lagos: Nigeria has issued a warning to its communities located near recent US military airstrike sites to be cautious of unexploded ordnance. This warning comes as the government aims to prevent injuries and fatalities resulting from leftover munitions in these areas.

According to France24.com, the airstrikes were part of a US-backed operation targeting Islamist militants. The Nigerian government is emphasizing the importance of civilian safety and is urging residents to report any suspicious objects to the authorities. This cautionary measure is intended to mitigate the risks posed by unexploded devices that may remain concealed in debris.
