32 Troops Killed In Boko Haram Attack In Niger by infofta(m): 5:42pm On Jun 04, 2016
Boko Haram Takfiri militants have killed 32 soldiers in an attack on a military post on Niger's border with Nigeria.

"Hundreds of assailants" attacked a military post at the rural town of Bosso on Friday evening, Niger's Defense Ministry said in a statement on Saturday. The statement gave the "provisional toll" of 30 Nigerien and two Nigerian soldiers killed and nearly 70 wounded.

Earlier in the day, media outlets reported that the Nigeria-based militants had captured the rural town located in southeastern Niger.
Local residents said Boko Haram mounted an all-out attack against Bosso, forcing Nigerien military forces to withdraw from the area without any resistance.

On November 25, 2015, 18 people were killed and 100 homes torched in a Boko Haram attack against the village of Wogom close to Bosso.

A humanitarian worker, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the militants came from Nigeria and crossed the Komadougou Yobe River, which lies on the border between Niger and Nigeria.

Militants from the Boko Haram Takfiri terrorist group have staged repeated attacks in Niger’s southeastern region of Diffa near Nigeria since February, leaving hundreds of people dead.
