Chadian security officials say at least 23 Chadian soldiers have been killed by Boko Haram militants.

The soldiers were killed overnight in an attack being described by officials as the deadliest ever in Chad.

Reuters reports that two Chadian security sources said on Friday the raid occurred in the town of Dangdala.

Dangdala is close to the banks of Lake Chad. One of Reuters’ reported sources claimed the militants crossed the border from neighbouring Niger.

Boko Haram continues to launch attacks in countries within the Lake Chad Basin territory, killing thousands.

Last December leaders of these countries vowed to end the insurgency of terrorist group.

Presidents of Nigeria, Niger and Chad met to find new ways of ending the activities of the militant group.

That meeting was attended by Nigeria’s Muhammadu Buhari, Mahamadou Issoufou of Niger and Idriss Deby Itno of Chad.

They also vowed to push for the quick implementation of the Regional Stabilisation Strategy in the areas of Lake Chad affected by the Boko Haram crisis.
