N'DJAMENA (Reuters) - Boko Haram militants
killed nine Chadian soldiers in an attack on a
military camp on Friday in the north of the Central
African country close to the Nigerian border, an
army spokesman said on Saturday.
"On our side, there are nine dead and 28
wounded," Colonel Azem Bermandoua told
Reuters, adding that 28 militants were killed. The
army said that Boko Haram carried out the
attack.
Over the last seven years, Boko Haram has killed
15,000 people and displaced more than two
million in its bid to create an Islamic state in
Nigeria. A regional force that includes troops from
Chad has retaken much of its territory in the last
two years.
The group has largely focused its attacks on
northeast Nigeria, neighbouring Cameroon and
Niger, with attacks in Chad less frequent.
