Boko Haram insurgents have reportedly killed 70 soldiers in the restive Northeast of Nigeria
Military sources said on Tuesday that the insurgents fired rocket-propelled grenades at a lorry carrying troops as it travelled near Gorgi village in Borno State, Nigeria on Monday.
“The terrorists specifically targeted a truck loaded with soldiers with RPGs and incinerated the vehicle, killing all on board,” an officer said.
“So far 70 bodies have been recovered but the toll is certainly more than that as the rescue operation is still underway.”
