尼日利亚迈杜古里,10月15日 - 疑似博科圣地武装分子本周在尼日利亚东北部博尔诺州一个军营发动协同袭击,造成至少10名士兵死亡、至少20人受伤,军方消息人士和居民周四表示。

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria, Oct 15 - Suspected Boko Haram fighters killed at least 10 soldiers and wounded at least 20 others in a coordinated assault on an army base in Nigeria's northeastern Borno state this week, military sources and residents said on Thursday.

武装分子周二晚上袭击了古扎马拉地方政府区的军营,压垮了部队,摧毁了军用车辆,并纵火烧毁了附近迈拉里村的一部分,两名军方消息人士称。

The militants attacked the base in the Guzamala local government area on Tuesday night, overrunning troops, destroying military vehicles and setting fire to parts of nearby Mairari village, two military sources said.

袭击中超过20人受伤,同时至少有5名平民和一名林业警卫被杀害,消息人士因未获授权接受媒体采访而要求匿名。

More than 20 people were wounded in the assault, while at least five civilians and a forest guard were killed, the sources said on condition of anonymity because they are not authorised to speak to the media.

军方发言人穆罕默德·戈尼上尉未回应就袭击发表评论的电话或信息。

Military spokesperson Captain Mohammed Goni did not respond to calls or messages seeking comment on the attack.

在对军营发动袭击之前,武装分子在附近湖畔村庄通布恩·巴雷巴里夺走了超过40艘渔船,失去自己渔船的渔夫吉布林·哈桑称。

Before the attack on the military base, the fighters seized more than 40 fishing boats in Tumbun Barebari, a nearby lakeside village, said Jibrin Hassan, a fisherman who lost his boat in the raid.

另一名渔夫巴巴加纳·穆罕默德表示:“这是一次同步袭击……只是区别在于我们渔民没有受到伤害”。

Babagana Muhammad, another fisherman, said "it was a simultaneous attack... just that the difference is we the fishermen were not harmed".

尽管多年来一直开展军事行动以遏制尼日利亚东北部持续17年的 insurgency,但博科圣地和西非伊斯兰国(ISWAP)等伊斯兰团体的袭击在最近几周有所加剧。

Attacks by Islamist groups, including Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), have intensified in recent weeks despite years of military operations aimed at containing the 17-year insurgency in northeastern Nigeria.

上周,尼日利亚军队击退了博尔诺州一个军事阵地上的袭击,击毙了超过25名ISWAP武装分子,尽管军方未披露自身伤亡情况。

Last week, Nigerian troops repelled an attack on a military position in Borno state, killing more than 25 ISWAP fighters, though the military's own casualties were not disclosed.
