Troops of the Nigerian Army under Operation Hadin Kai have repelled an attack by suspected Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists on Benisheikh in Borno State, preventing a possible overrun of the town.
The attack occurred at about 11:15 p.m. on April 14, 2026, according to security sources. Troops of Headquarters 29 Task Force Brigade came under assault from the insurgents but successfully contained the attack, forcing the terrorists to withdraw in disarray.
No soldier was killed in the engagement, though three personnel sustained injuries during the exchange of fire. The wounded soldiers were evacuated to the 7 Division Medical Services and Hospital for treatment.
The number of terrorist casualties could not be immediately confirmed, the military said, adding that exploitation of the general area was ongoing to track fleeing fighters and assess the extent of damage inflicted on the attacking force.
The overall security situation across the theatre of operations was described as calm but unpredictable.
