Nigerian army kills Boko Haram fighters

maiduguri - In clashes in Nigeria are five soldiers of the Nigerian army and at least fifteen Boko Haram fighters killed. The terrorist movement attacked an army base in the northeast of the country, reported Sunday a source within the military.

The fighting took place Saturday night in Buni Yadi in Yobe state. The booms were heard in Maiduguri, the capital of neighboring Borno state, where Boko Haram began its rebellion.

The terrorist movement will lose in the Northeast more and more ground to the Nigerian army with the help of neighboring countries. Last month, Boko Haram expelled from one of its main camps in the Sambisa forest near Maiduguri.
