Eight villagers in Cameroon's Far North region were killed and nine injured in a raid by Nigerian group Boko Haram that was followed by a gun battle between militants and security forces, a government official said on Thursday, according to Reuters. "Wednesday's attacks killed eight and wounded nine," said Babila Akaou, prefect for the Mayo-Sava district, referring to the overnight attack in the village of Doulo. "For security forces and Boko Haram militants, we do not yet have a death toll," he said.
