The group, called the Niger Delta Avengers, roughly halved Nigeria’s oil production in 2016, including an attack on an underwater pipeline that took it out for more than a year. It has since made a variety of threats but has not staged any attacks since 2017.

“The Nigerian government has continued to pay deaf ears to our demands and the rising challenges in the country,” the group said in a statement posted on its website and emailed to journalists.

It added it would “spare no single oil installation within our range of strategic targets marked for destruction in the coming days.”

The military is deployed across most of Nigeria’s states, but has not been able to stem the tide of violence.
