IS-Sahel claims to have ambushed a patrol of the Nigerien army in the town of Birnin Konni on the Nigerian (🇳🇬) border last Sunday, killing five soldiers, destroying a vehicle and capturing weapons. IS-Sahel's presence in this area has been known for quite a while but this is the first time the group officially acknowledges it, this attack against border control seemingly aims to facilitate the movement of weapons and fighters in and out of Nigeria.
