Troops of the Nigerian Army, in a coordinated operation with the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), on Wednesday repelled an attack by suspected Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters on a military base in Rann, Kala-Balge Local Government Area of Borno State.
The insurgents, who reportedly disguised themselves as Fulani herders, launched the assault in the early hours of the day, targeting the Forward Operating Base (FOB) in the area.
