Nearly a dozen Chadian soldiers have lost their lives in a surprise attack by the Takfiri Boko Haram terrorist group against them in the unstable Lake Chad region.

A Chadian security source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Boko Haram terrorists attacked the KaigaNgouboua base in Chad, located two kilometers from the border with Nigeria today, killing 11 Chadian troopers and wounding 17 others.

The source said that 17 Boko Haram terrorists were also killed during heavy clashes that ensued with Chadian soldiers, adding that the Takfiri terrorists have been driven out of the area and that the Chadian army is raking the entire region in search of any possible Boko Haram terrorists.

Chad has been a major military ally of Nigeria in the fight against Boko Haram, whose leader has publicly threatened the Chadian president with retaliation.
