At least 40 Chadian soldiers were killed in a recent attack by Boko Haram militants near the Lake Chad region, close to the Nigerian border. The assault targeted a garrison housing over 200 troops late Sunday. Chadian President Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno responded by visiting the attack site and launching an operation to pursue the attackers into remote hideouts. Military sources reported that the assailants seized ammunition and equipment, leaving 20 others injured. The regional governor confirmed the situation is now under control, with military forces actively pursuing the militants.
