Military troops of the republic of Niger on Monday killed 57 Boko Haram jihadists during a fight in southeast Niger, AFP says.
According to a military source, ten soldiers were slightly injured in the exchanges which started late Sunday after a large group of the fighters arrived on motorbikes and cars.
The Boko Haram fighters were “clearly well-trained and certainly well informed about our positions,” the source said.
The fighting took place in Gueskerou, a village in the West African country’s southeastern region of Diffa bordering Nigeria, from where a bloody uprising by Boko Haram fighters has spilled over.
