尼日利亚迈杜古里，10月7日——据军方消息人士和一名民间防卫部队成员周三透露，尼日利亚军队在博尔诺州东北部的一个军事据点击退袭击时，击毙了25多名与伊斯兰国有关联的武装分子，但自身也遭受了数量不明的伤亡。
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria, Oct 7 - Nigerian troops killed more than 25 Islamic State-aligned militants as they fought off an assault on a military position in northeastern Borno State, suffering an unknown number of casualties of their own, military sources and a member of the civilian defence force said on Wednesday.
另一起早些发生的袭击事件中，据一名军方消息人士、一名政府官员和三名居民称，在西北部扎姆法拉州，骑摩托车的枪手杀害了25多名士兵和100多名小规模金矿工人。
In a separate, earlier incident, gunmen on motorbikes killed more than 25 soldiers and over 100 small-scale gold miners in Zamfara State, in the northwest, a military source, government official, and three residents said.
尽管尼日利亚多年来一直对“博科圣地”及其分支组织“伊斯兰国西非省”展开军事行动，但此次袭击凸显了伊斯兰极端主义叛乱分子在该国东北部持续构成的威胁。与此同时，暴力事件正在西北部蔓延，该地区同样有匪徒和伊斯兰极端组织活动。安全局势问题很可能成为尼日利亚明年年初选举的关键议题。
The attacks underscore the persistent threat posed by Islamist insurgents in northeastern Nigeria despite years of military campaigns against Boko Haram and its offshoot, known as Islamic State West Africa Province. Meanwhile, violence is spreading in the northwest, where bandits and Islamist groups also operate. Insecurity is likely to be a key issue in Nigeria's election early next year.
特种部队遭袭 在东北部的袭击事件中，据军方称，第101特种部队营的士兵于周二夜间在乍得湖附近的库卡瓦遭到四个方向的攻击，但在空中支援下成功击退了这次袭击。
SPECIAL FORCES UNDER ATTACK In the incident in the northeast, troops of the 101 Special Forces Battalion came under attack on Tuesday night from four directions in Kukawa, near Lake Chad, but repelled the assault with air support, according to the military.
“初步评估显示，已有超过25名恐怖分子被消灭，目前共回收了14具尸体，”“哈丁凯”行动代理军事信息官穆罕默德·戈尼上尉在一份声明中表示。在后续行动中，军队缴获了6支AK-47步枪和弹药。军方消息人士称，部分士兵在战斗中丧生，但未提供具体细节。

Troops seized six AK-47 rifles and ammunition during follow-up operations. The military sources said some soldiers were killed in the fighting but did not provide details.
一名支持东北部军事行动的民间联合特遣队成员表示，该组织有超过三名成员在袭击中丧生。
