Pars Today – Around 70 people were killed in an attack by the terrorist group Boko Haram on residents of a village in Borno State, northeastern Nigeria.

Al Mayadeen, citing Reuters, reported that the death toll includes seven soldiers. The nighttime attack targeted the village of Dar Al-Jamal in the Bama local government area, occurring around 8:30 p.m. on Friday. Armed assailants opened fire indiscriminately and set homes on fire.
