Jan 26, 2025, 11:15 AM
At least 27 Nigerian soldiers were killed in a jihadist suicide attack in the northeast, according to two Army sources. The attack occurred on Friday when a suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laden vehicle into a convoy of troops targeting Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) militants in the Timbuktu Triangle, a wasteland straddling Borno and Yobe states. The assault, which took place around 2030 GMT, also left several soldiers seriously injured, with the death toll potentially rising due to the critical condition of some of the wounded. The attack is considered one of the deadliest suicide attacks targeting soldiers in recent years.
