Militants in eight gun trucks launched a pre-dawn attack on Thursday on the base in Kareto village, 335 kilometres north of the Borno state capital Maiduguri, they said. "We lost several men but we are still working to establish their number. One thing we are sure about is that the base commander, a lieutenant colonel, was among those killed," he said.The militants "took troops by surprise" while they were working to fix communications equipment that had been destroyed in a rainstorm, said another officer, who also sought anonymity.Search and rescue teams were combing the area for missing soldiers and dead bodies, they added.
Two weeks ago, the group carried out multiple attacks on military bases in Borno state, overrunning three of them and stealing weapons.
