YAOUNDE, March 28 (Xinhua) -- An attack by terror group in a village in Cameron's Far North region Saturday night has killed 3 civilians and one soldier, security sources said on Sunday.
The heavily armed militants came on several vehicles and motorcycles and set fire to shops, hangars, and began shooting indiscriminately during the assault in Dabanga village of the region, according to several local sources.
Local officials said at least three civilians and one soldier were killed during the attack. Three Boko Haram insurgents were also killed in the army's riposte.
"Had the military not arrived in time and repulsed the terrorists, the death toll would have been frightening," a military official who asked not to be named told Xinhua.
