In Niger, 23 soldiers killed and 17 others injured in a “terrorist” ambush. The attack took place in the Tillabéri region, located in the so-called “three borders” zone between Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso.
“More than a hundred terrorists on board vehicles and motorcycles” attacked an army unit between the towns of Teguey and Bankilaré using “homemade bombs and kamikaze vehicles,” the statement said.
