The U.S. State Department has approved two potential arms sales aimed at enhancing security in key regions. The first involves a $346 million package of munitions, precision bombs, and precision rockets to Nigeria, intended to support the sub-Saharan country in its fight against terrorism. The Pentagon confirmed the approval, highlighting the effort to bolster Nigeria's security capabilities. Separately, the U.S. has approved a $500 million sale of the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and related equipment to Bahrain, with Lockheed Martin designated as the main contractor for the transaction. These approvals reflect ongoing U.S. efforts to strengthen military partnerships and address regional security challenges. Additionally, in Nigeria, local authorities and UNICEF are collaborating to introduce early warning systems in public schools to prepare students for potential terrorist attacks.
