8 Chadian soldiers killed in clashes with Boko Haram: army

N’DJAMENA, Oct 10, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Eight Chadian soldiers died in a
Boko Haram attack in the Lake Chad region on Wednesday, with 48 jihadists
killed as the army retaliated, a military spokesman said.

“Boko Haram terrorists attacked defence force positions in Kaiga Kindji
early this morning,” the spokesman told AFP, saying the attack, in which 11
other soldiers were also wounded, had been “vigorously” repulsed.
