According to a report shared on X handle of eons intelligence on Thursday, the group said the explosion was directed at the brigade’s forward operating position during recent military activities in the area. ISWAP also claimed that the assault left about 30 soldiers either killed or wounded.
The incident reportedly took place over the weekend as troops from the 21 Special Armoured Brigade were carrying out clearance operations in sections of Sambisa Forest aimed at dislodging insurgents and destroying their hideouts.
