Boko Haram militants kill over 100 in attack on Nigerian village

Boko Haram militants carried out a coordinated attack on a village in northeastern Nigeria, resulting in the deaths of at least 100 villagers. The attack occurred in Yobe state, one of the regions most affected by the insurgency. The militants arrived on motorcycles, opened fire on a market, and set shops and homes ablaze. The death toll may be higher, as some villagers are still missing. The attack is attributed to Boko Haram, a militant Islamist group that has been waging an insurgency in the region since 2009. The incident is part of a larger trend of violence in the region, with over 1,500 people killed in attacks by armed groups this year, according to the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project.
