Niger's southeast has frequently been targeted by Boko
Haram, with the Islamists also launching raids into neighbouring Nigeria.
At least 32 soldiers have been killed in a clash with Boko
Haram militants on Niger's border with Nigeria.
Niger's defence ministry said that the soldiers - 30 from
Niger and two from Nigeria - were killed when Boko Haram attacked the
southeastern town of Bosso.
The Friday night attack also saw 67 soldiers wounded.
There were no casualty figures for the militants, but
Niger's defence ministry spokesman said "several (Boko Haram) dead and
injured were taken away".
