YAOUNDE, Nov. 19 (Xinhua) -- Cameroon army said Thursday its troops have killed three militants of terror group Boko Haram in the country's Far North region.
The fighters were killed overnight into Thursday in Malika locality of the region during a confrontation between government forces and the terror group, according to the army.
The army recuperated arms and munitions after the attack. It is unclear if security forces suffered losses during the offensive.
