We have verified a video circulating online showing a reported suicide attack on a temporary Nigerian army camp.<\/p>\n

The attack has been linked to the Islamic State group in northern Nigeria\u2019s Borno State. In the video, filmed in a forested area, we see troops, vehicles and tanks.<\/p>\n

One of the soldiers shouts to the others to \u201cobserve\u201d. Another man, possibly the person filming, repeats the same command and later says he can \u201csee some guys\u201d.<\/p>\n

Moments later, we see an explosion in the distance and later a bigger one closer to the person filming who shouts \u201csuicide bomber\u201d at least six times.<\/p>\n

The video has crucial details watermarked on to it including the date, time and the co-ordinates, which meant we could identify the specific location on Google Earth. <\/p>\n

We have matched the trees we see in the video to satellite imagery.Nasa\u2019s satellite-based fire-sensing platform FIRMS captured several heat signatures in the area on the same day, which offers further corroboration.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian army, which is engaged in a military campaign against the militants, confirmed the incident, external<\/a> and said a vehicle with explosives had breached army positions. <\/p>\n

Several soldiers and at least 20 militants were killed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Verified video shows reported suicide attack on Nigeria army camppublished at 13:06 GMT 13:06 GMT Peter MwaiBBC Verify…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":428049,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[62,276,277,49,48,61],"class_list":{"0":"post-428119","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-ca","12":"tag-canada","13":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=428119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/428049"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=428119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=428119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=428119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
