迈杜古里，10月19日 - 两名士兵表示，在尼日利亚东北部博尔诺州，他们的车队触地雷并遭到射击，导致至少15人死亡，其中包括10名尼日利亚士兵和五名平民联合特遣队成员。
MAIDUGURI, Oct 19 - At least 15 people, including 10 Nigerian soldiers and five members of the Civilian Joint Task Force, were killed when their convoy struck a landmine and came under fire in northeastern Borno state, two soldiers said.
这些士兵来自甘博鲁的一个营，周六他们正在甘博鲁恩加拉与邻国喀麦隆之间的道路上巡逻时，一辆皮卡车引爆了一枚可能由博科圣地武装分子埋设的地雷，消息人士称。
The troops, from a battalion in Gamboru, were patrolling a road between Gamboru Ngala and neighbouring Cameroon on Saturday when a pickup truck detonated a mine likely planted by Boko Haram insurgents, the sources said.
博尔诺是博科圣地及其分裂派别西非伊斯兰国省发动叛乱的中心。尽管军方持续开展行动，这两个组织仍在尼日利亚东北部及其边境地区使用路边炸弹和伏击袭击军队和平民。军方发言人穆罕默德·戈尼上尉拒绝置评的请求。
Borno is the centre of an insurgency led by Boko Haram and its breakaway faction, Islamic State West Africa Province. Despite sustained military operations, both groups continue to attack troops and civilians, using roadside bombs and ambushes in Nigeria's northeast and around its borders. Military spokesperson Captain Mohammed Goni declined requests for comment.
消息人士称，乘坐该车辆的八名士兵当场死亡。随后，武装分子开火击中第二辆车辆，造成两名士兵和五名平民联合特遣队成员死亡，该特遣队协助军方行动。消息人士要求不具名，因为他们未获授权接受媒体采访。
Eight soldiers travelling in the vehicle were killed instantly. Gunmen then opened fire on a second vehicle, killing two more soldiers and five members of the Civilian Joint Task Force, which assists the military, the sources said, asking not to be identified because they were not authorised to speak to the media.
根据消息人士的说法，六名受伤士兵被送往迈杜古里的迈马拉里军医院接受治疗。路透社无法独立核实伤亡人数。
Six wounded soldiers were taken to Maimalari Military Hospital in Maiduguri for treatment, according to the sources. Reuters could not independently verify the casualty figures.
上周，疑似博科圣地武装分子对博尔诺州一个军事基地发动协同袭击，造成至少10名士兵死亡，至少20人受伤。
Last week, suspected Boko Haram fighters killed at least 10 soldiers and wounded at least 20 others in a coordinated assault on an army base in Borno state.
