Islamic militants kill 12 Cameroonian soldiers in an attack near Lake Chad

At least 12 Cameroonian soldiers were killed in an attack by Islamic militants on the border with Nigeria, according to a statement from the Cameroonian Ministry of Defense.
The attack left over a dozen soldiers wounded and occurred in the Lake Chad area near the town of Wulgo, the ministry said Thursday.
The Ministry of Defense cited Boko Haram militants' advanced weaponry and apparent alliance with powerful transnational criminal entities as contributing factors to the attack.
Boko Haram has fought against Western education and imposed its version of Islamic law since 2009, resulting in 35,000 civilian deaths and over 2 million displaced in northeastern Nigeria, according to the U.N.
