8 Nigerian soldiers killed by landmine
Eight Nigerian soldiers were killed on Sunday when a landmine planted by jihadists affiliated with the Islamic State exploded in a military vehicle in Borno State near the Cameroon border during a patrol. The attack occurred concurrently with a visit by the Nigerian Army commander, following a previous assault that resulted in the death of 15 soldiers and 5 anti-jihadist fighters. The militants utilize dense shrubland to set ambushes and target security forces, amid a surge in violence after the decline of the insurgency since 2009.
