Security sources say Nigerian soldier convoy hit by deadly ambush was on its way to launch an offensive against militants affiliated to Daesh
A soldier stands behind a machine gun on a truck along a road in Nigerian northern city of Maiduguri, June 7, 2017.
Insurgents fired rocket-propelled grenades at a lorry carrying troops as it travelled near Gorgi village in Borno state on Monday, two military officers told without giving their names."The terrorists specifically targeted a truck loaded with soldiers with RPGs and incinerated the vehicle, killing all on board," a second officer said.
The convoy had left regional capital Maiduguri on its way to launch an offensive on a camp belonging to militants affiliated to Daesh terror group in the area, a member of a government-backed militia fighting the insurgents told. The group has been accused of increasing attacks on civilians and taking hostages at bogus checkpoints on main roads in the region.
