10 suspected members of Boko Haram were killed in a clash in north eastern Nigeria after troops launched an air strike, the military said Wednesday.
Troops clashed with “fleeing Boko Haram terrorists” late Tuesday following the destruction of two alleged Boko Haram camps in the Konduga area of Borno state, according to the military.
The clash followed an “air strike and subsequent destruction of two Boko Haram terrorist camps at Mada, Konduga local government area of Borno state,” Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa said in a statement.
It occurred on the road as troops were travelling to the town of Biu and “had an encounter with fleeing Boko Haram terrorists,” it said.
