ISIS said on Sunday it killed 30 Nigerian soldiers in an attack in the country’s northeastern Borno state, a claim disputed by the Nigerian Army.
A Nigerian Army spokesman said an attack on troops by insurgents in the Borno village of Logomani was repelled on Saturday and eight soldiers were hurt, none with life-threatening injuries.
In a statement issued through its news agency Amaq, ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack on a village it referred to as Lomani.
