As a result of the attack of the Boko Haram terrorist group, 27 troops were killed in the northeastern state of Borno in Nigeria, many were injured.
The representative of the Nigerian Army, who wished to maintain anonymity, told the local media that the suicide bomber undermined himself at the military base.
Boko Haram has been operating in Nigeria since the beginning of the 2000s, and since 2009, tens of thousands of people have become victims of militant attacks. Since 2015, the group has spread its activities to neighboring countries – Cameroon, Chad and Niger, where at least 2 thousand people died in the area of the basin of Lake Chad.
The attacks and armed conflicts forced hundreds of thousands of residents of the region to leave their homes.
