Breaking: Soldiers in gun battle with Boko Haram at Borno military base
Troops of the Nigerian army stationed in Mainok, Borno state, are currently in a gunfight with suspected Boko Haram insurgents.
A source told TheCable that the insurgents came into the village around 7pm, shooting sporadically.
“They went straight to the military base and for about an hour now, they have been in a gunfight with the troops,” he said.
In February, seven soldiers were reportedly killed when the insurgents attacked the village.
