Nigeria’s military said on Wednesday that there has been no evidence of ​civilian casualties from an airstrike on militants ‌in the northwest Zamfara state this month, calling reports of large death tolls unverified and misleading. Amnesty International said ​this week that at least 100 civilians were ​killed in the May 10 airstrike on ⁠a crowded market in Tumfa village, urging authorities ​to open an immediate investigation. Citing witnesses, Amnesty said ​that many of those killed were women and children. Local media also reported a similar death toll. “No credible, substantiated ​evidence of civilian casualties has been established through ​any official assessment or independent verification,” Defence Headquarters spokesperson Major-General ‌Michael ⁠Onoja said in a statement.
