notes: 18 November. IS-aligned Boko Haram members attacked a military base in Metele, over running the base until air force reinforcement arrived. At least forty-three soldiers were killed in the attack, including a commander. However, a soldier reported as many as 70 casualties and indicated that the efforts to evacuate the bodies have failed due to the insurgents continued presence in the area.
