At least 123 Boko Haram terrorists were killed when the Takfiri group attacked a Chadian army in Northern Cameroon, the Chadian military said.

Twelve soldiers were wounded in the attacks staged by the terrorists near the border town of Fotokol, according to a military statement read out on national television.

Chad sent a convoy of troops and military vehicles into neighboring Cameroon on January 17 to deal with the growing threat Boko Haram poses in the region.

“The enemy was repelled by our defensive forces,” the general staff’s statement said, adding that the troops had “routed” the Takfiris in the second attack.

Boko Haram terrorist group frequently stages attacks on Fotokol from their base in the Nigerian town of Gamboru, which is just 500 meters away.

More than 13,000 people have been killed and more than one million made homeless by Boko Haram violence since 2009.
