 The Nigerian Army has confirmed the killing of at least 16 Boko Haram insurgents during an attack on their base at Rann, Kala Balge Local Government Area of northeast state of Borno.

The insurgents stormed the troops location on Friday carrying different sophisticated arms and ammunition including Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), military spokesperson Col. Sani Usman said in a statement reaching Xinhua on Sunday.

He said the exchange of fire lasted for some hours before they were overwhelmed by the troops firepower.

Usman added that quite a number of the insurgents escaped with gun shot wounds. Two soldiers died while five others sustained varying degrees of injuries.

He said the troops recovered a General Purpose Machine Gun, Rocket Propelled Grenade, ammunition while two terrorists were captured alive.
