Four
Chadian soldiers were killed and six wounded after militant
Islamist group Boko Haram attacked their base on the northern border with Niger
at the weekend, a Chadian military source has told BBC Afrique.
Seven
of the militants were killed when troops returned fire, said the source, who
spoke on condition of anonymity.
Last
year, Chad joined the fight against Boko Haram, which launched
its insurgency in north-eastern Nigeria in 2009, amid fears that it
could destabilize the entire region.
Female suicide bombers killed at least 23 people and wounded more than 100 in an attack on a police station and a market in Chad's capital, Ndjamena, in July 2015.
