Abuja, Jan. 15 -- Terror group Boko Haram has launched fresh attacks on two villages in Nigeria's troubled northeast region, according to multiple sources on Tuesday.
The terrorists on Monday evening torched shelters and camps of those displaced by earlier Boko Haram attacks in Rann, a town over 170 km to Maiduguri, capital of the northern state of Borno, two military sources who preferred to be anonymous told Xinhua by telephone.
They also attacked Damasak village, located in a remote part of Borno, late Monday, a non-military source said.
In Rann, the terrorists burned down a hospital, a school, and government buildings. They also attempted to take over a military base in the area, Xinhua's sources said.
