Local media reported that at least ten Cameroonian soldiers were killed and twenty others injured in an attack by the terrorist group Boko Haram on a military outpost in the country’s Extreme North region. This information was provided by sources within the Cameroonian army on Tuesday.
The assault occurred during the night from Monday to Tuesday when Boko Haram militants ambushed and attacked the Wulgo military camp, located near the border with Nigeria, according to the newspaper L’Œil du Sahel.
A military source indicated that the “well-armed” attackers arrived in large numbers, catching the soldiers off guard. Local authorities noted that the death toll remains uncertain as investigations are still ongoing.
According to local media reports, this incident represents one of the deadliest attacks against the Cameroonian military since Boko Haram initiated its campaign of violence in the region in 2014.
