Boko Haram militants attacked a military base in Chad.
Modern.az reports with reference to "Reuters" that this was stated in the statement issued by the army on Tuesday.
According to the information, at least 23 security service employees died and 26 people were injured as a result of the attack.
"The army repelled the attack that took place in the Lake Chad region on Monday evening, and operations to clear the area are currently underway," the statement said.
Chadian President Mahamat Idriss Deby condemned the attack by the armed men in a statement on the social network "Facebook".
It should be noted that since 2009, "Boko Haram" militants have expanded their influence from the north-east of Nigeria to the west of Chad, and attacks on military facilities have intensified there.
