Boko Haram attack.
The Nigerian defense minister Karidjo Mahamadou said
that the casualties came in Niger’s southeast on
Wednesday after Nigerian troops attacked the would-be
bombers, triggering their explosive devices.
Four attackers attempted to enter the town of Diffa on
Wednesday morning but were intercepted 10 km (six
miles) outside and then attacked by security forces.
However, at least one of the militants still managed to
detonate an explosive device.
"Two of our soldiers died after being hit by the
explosion," Karidio Mahamadou told reporters. Three
others were injured.
Diffa has witnessed several attacks since February,
including one in June in which 38 people lost their
lives..
