Residents Killed as Terrorists Fire Mortar Bomb Into Borno Community

At least six people, including women, were killed and many sustained injuries when insurgents fired a mortar bomb into Damboa town in Damboa Local Government Area of Borno state.

VOP News gathered that the outlawed group came at exactly 8:30 pm to Waluri bridge in Damboa town and attacked a civilian JTF location.

According to a security source, after they could not gain access into the town, the attackers fired a mortar bomb into the town killing six people including women and more than 20 people were rushed to the hospital.

Commenting on the incident, a top member of Civilian JTF said members of the agency resisted them and two were seriously wounded when they fired mortar bombs into the town.

Five days ago, insurgents slaughtered 7 farmers near Damboa town.

Damboa, which has a garrison of the Nigerian Army, has not experienced this kind of attack in the last two years.
