About 10 Chadian soldiers have lost their lives fighting Boko Haram terrorists in Nigeria, military sources say.
A Chadian officer, who confirmed the deaths to Reuters, also said that two communities in Borno State, Damasak and Malam Fatouri, had been recovered from the terrorists during the battle.
Chad has deployed 2,500 soldiers to Nigeria as part of a multinational force created to combat Boko Haram.
