location: Kaiga
notes: Nine Chadian soldiers were killed and twenty were wounded in a Boko Haram attack on an army post in the Lake Chad region on Friday. 38 Boko Haram jihadists were also killed as the army responded to the attack on the Kaiga post. The attack does not seem to have been pre-meditated. The weakened jihadists have been forced to constantly move around for several weeks on the shores of Lake Chad in search for food from residents, but also to escape from regular patrols by the army that are criss-crossing the area
