Boko Haram kills 23 in Chad

Boko Haram militants killed at least 23 soldiers in a night-time attack on a military post in Chad's Lake Chad region.

The raid on Barka Tolorom island also left dozens of others wounded, marking a significant escalation in regional violence.

Chadian forces have launched a counter-offensive to track down the attackers who fled across the lake.

The incident underscores the persistent threat posed by the insurgent group despite ongoing regional security efforts.
