Boko Haram militants have killed a senior Cameroonian soldier in an attack on a military post in the Mayo-Moskota district in the Far North region.

Our source in Maroua identified the soldier as Philippe Kaldaoussa, a Sub Lieutenant serving with the Rapid Intervention Battalion.

The attack was carried out on Wednesday against a patrol vehicle from the 42nd Mechanized Division whose base is in Mora in Mayo-Sava Division.  Three soldiers were also injured in the attack.
