The Chadian Defense and Security Forces have confirmed significant losses in a recent clash with Boko Haram militants in the Lake Chad region.
The confrontation, which resulted in the neutralization of over 96 terrorists, also claimed the lives of several high-ranking military officers.
In a post, the Chadian military formation said among the fallen heroes are two generals, a lieutenant colonel, and a colonel.
They are Brigadier General Youssouf Abdoulaye Kari, General Adoum Issa, Colonel Lony Allatchi, Lieutenant Colonel Gorou Wardougou.
Additionally, several other officers, including Generals François Tatiko and Moubarack Formalick, sustained injuries during the fierce battle.
The Chadian government, under the leadership of President Idriss Deby Itno has vowed to intensify its counterterrorism efforts in response to the escalating violence.
YERWA EXPRESS NEWS has been reporting how the Chadian President was preparing for retaliation after the killing of over 40 soldiers by Boko Haram fighters at Barkaram military base.
The Chadian leader has set up a camp at Lake Chad’s edge, where he directs Operation Haskanite to track down the terrorists responsible for the attack.
This paper report indicates that Chadian forces have pursued the insurgents deep into the lake’s island marshes, forcing them to scatter and abandon their camps with cattle, food items and other logistics.
