Boko Haram militants attacked a military base on Barka Tolorom island in Chad's Lake Chad region on Monday night, killing at least 23 soldiers and wounding 26 others, according to the Chadian armed forces.

The Chadian military said its forces repelled the assault and killed "a significant number" of attackers. The Lake Chad region borders Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria and has long been a base of operations for Boko Haram.

Chadian President Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno condemned the raid in a Facebook post on Tuesday, describing it as another "cowardly" attack and pledging to continue the fight "until this threat is completely eradicated."

The attack follows a pattern of escalating violence in the region. An October 2024 Boko Haram assault killed around 40 Chadian soldiers, prompting Deby to launch a counter-offensive he vowed to personally lead for two weeks.

After that counter-offensive ended in February 2025, the Chadian army declared Boko Haram had "no more sanctuary on Chadian territory." Recent months have also seen a surge in attacks by the group's JAS faction, including kidnappings.

Boko Haram has waged an insurgency since 2009, originating in northeastern Nigeria before spreading across borders. The UN says the conflict has killed thousands and displaced millions across Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger.
