No fewer than 11 soldiers have been killed in fresh attack on a military base in Birnin Gwari LGA of Kaduna state by suspected gunmen.

The gunmen reportedly attacked the base in Polwire village in large numbers on Monday and engaged the troops in a fierce gun battle.

Afriupdate News gathered that the terrorists came on motorcycles and carrying heavy weapons including rocket-propelled grenade (RPG)

The fight was said to have lasted for about two hours before the soldiers were subdued by the terrorists’ superior fire power.

In past recent weeks, Kaduna has become the hotbed of violent attacks with terrorists and other non-state actors launching audacious attacks on military formations and critical infrastructures.

The attack on the military base comes days after terrorists bombed a train in Kaduna, which left several people dead and scores injured.
