At least 25 people were on Wednesday, November 12, killed in a Boko
Haram attack in a village in southern Niger. According to Niger military
officials, 20 of the dead are Boko Haram militants who were killed in
subsequent clashes with the army.
The terrorist group killed five civilians in their initial attack on the
village located in the West African nation's Bosso district.
Niger soldiers drove back the militants, killing around 20 of them, the officers said.
"Reacting quickly, the government's forces were able to push them back.
Most of the Boko Haram elements have been neutralized," said one of the
officers, based in the Diffa border region.
The situation is under control and we are carrying out clean-up
operations," he told Reuters
