The Nigerian army carried out a drone raid on Sunday that killed at least 85 civilians by mistake, northwest of the country.
The National Emergency Management Agency explained on its Facebook page: “The Northwestern Regional Office received details from the local authorities stating that 85 bodies have been buried so far, and the search is still continuing.”
A spokesman confirmed this statement to AFP on Tuesday.
The army announced on Monday that a raid carried out by one of its drones mistakenly hit villagers who were participating in an Islamic festival, but it did not provide any toll.
