Two Nigerian soldiers were killed and another four got wounded when
Boko Haram militants attacked a community in Askira Uba local
government area of Borno State on Wednesday, two local sources told
SaharaReporters.
According to the source, Boko Haram members stormed the remote
village of Huyim village about 2 p.m. yesterday before unleashing mayhem
on the people.
"They looted and carted away foodstuff and then burned down the whole village," said the source.
SaharaReporters further reported that when the local vigilantes
sent an urgent request for troops to assist in repelling the attack, the
troops' vehicles rolled on land mines planted by the militants which
left some of the soldiers dead and wounded.
"The attackers came on motorcycles and opened fire. They looted
farms products and took away livestock. We called the troops for
assistance," said one of the sources.
He added, "Unfortunately, the troops' vehicle drove over
landmines. The mines killed two soldiers and four other soldiers
sustained degrees of injuries."
