Members of the terrorist group attacked Chadian army base around one o’clock in the morning killing a soldier. Meanwhile a delegation of the army general staff on the ground, had one of the convoy’s vehicles reportedly hit a mine killing two soldiers on the spot, while a third one died a few hours later as a result of his injuries.
Obed Nangbatna, a national television cameraman who was part of the mission also died from a hemorrhage.
A Boko Haram attack on the northern shore of Lake Chad leaves four soldiers and a Chadian cameraman dead.
For several weeks, Boko Haram has been increasing incursions into northern Chad, and seems to have adopted a new modus operandi: the laying of mines on the enemy’s path.
