Suspected members of terrorist group Boko Haram have attacked multiple villages in Nigeria and Cameroon, killing at least 15 people. The BBC reports the militants mounted an early-morning assault on the Cameroonian village of Tchakarmari, near the northern border with Nigeria. They burned houses to the ground, killing at least seven people and kidnapping several others. Nigerian legislator Emmanuel Tsamdu meanwhile told Xinhua news agency a group of the militants on Sunday assaulted Kobachwa and other villages in the Madagali district of Adamawa state, in northeastern Nigeria. Boko Haram militants reportedly seized the Madagali district in August 2014, but the Nigerian military claimed to have cleared the militants out in March.
