The Nigerian army has repelled an attempted attack by terrorists in Monguno, a town in Borno state.
Citing sources, Zagazola Makama, a counter insurgency publication
focused on the Lake Chad region, reported that the attempted infiltration
happened around 2:55am on Sunday morning.
The report said the terrorists sought to pass through the
Charlie 15 axis into Monguno but were fought off by troops of Sector 3,
Operation Hadin Kai.
According to the sources, the troops observed blood stains
along the withdrawal route of the fleeing terrorists, suggesting that some of
them may have sustained injuries.
The army also recovered seven rounds of 7.62mm special
ammunition, one PKT machine gun belt, an empty AK-47 rifle magazine, and an RPG
bomb, among other items.
No casualty was reported from the army, and there was no
further contact with the terrorists after they retreated.
Monguno is both a town and an LGA in Borno.
It is known for being a conflict-affected area, particularly
impacted by the Boko Haram insurgency.
Troops, including the Multinational Joint Task Force (MJTF)
which groups soldiers from three Lake Chad countries: Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon,
and Benin, are consistently stationed in the town to ward off insurgents.
