Six troops from Nigeria and Niger were killed by Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) militants during an operation this month, a joint military force said on Thursday.

Two officers and four other ranks from both countries were killed and 16 wounded, Dole said, without providing an exact date. The region were the attacks took place is part of Nigeria’s northeastern Borno state, the centre of the Islamist insurgency in which about 300 000 people have died and millions left dependent on aid, according to the United Nations.
