Seven Boko Haram insurgents were killed while several others wounded
yesterday evening during an encounter with troops of 119 Battalion Group
of 8 Division of the Nigerian Army deployed in Kangarwa, one of the
villages in the hinterland of northern Borno.
A statement on Sunday from the director army public relations
officer, Col Sani Usman, said, the insurgents who had earlier on Tuesday
attacked an isolated village in Dasa, were fiercely engaged by the
troops forcing them to hastily retreat in disarray after sustaining
casualties.
Five soldiers who sustained injuries during the offensive have been
evacuated and are currently receiving treatment in the hospital.
Troops are still on aggressive pursuit of the fleeing insurgents.
