The Islamic State in West Africa Province, ISWAP, otherwise known as Boko Haram, has claimed yet another rocket strike on Mallam Fatori, Borno State.
The terrorists had variously hit military locations during the attacks, killing at least five soldiers.
In a communique issued by IS on September 1, the terrorists claimed that ISWAP launched a Katyusha rocket on a camp in Mallam Fatori, bringing the onslaught to four in and around the town since August 25.
“Almighty Allah has given success to the soldiers of the Caliphate, attacking the apostate Nigerian army’s camp two days ago in Mallam Fatori town, Borno State, with a Katyusha rocket. It landed at the target, and we thank Allah,” said another communique, dated September 2, and sighted by DAILY NIGERIAN.
On September 2, the group published six photos, showing fighters firing machine guns and an RPG at a Nigerian military camp in the beleaguered town.
