YAOUNDE, Oct. 3 (Xinhua) -- Terror group Boko Haram killed one civilian and injured several others in a raid in Cameroon's Far North region, the army said on Thursday.

The Boko Haram militants stormed the Talkoumri village in Kolofata subdivision early Thursday, looted foodstuffs, motorcycles, abducted and killed one villager, local authorities said.

"The terrorists also attacked another village called Mozogo in the region. They stole everything from the villagers. They injured some villagers so badly," an army officer who asked not to be named told Xinhua, stressing that the villagers were rescued thanks to the timely intervention of government forces.

In early September, the terror group killed four civilians in another attack in Talkoumri, according to security reports.

Boko Haram has killed about 2,000 people in Cameroon since 2014, according to local media reports quoting international NGOs. Enditem
