Chad’s military captured the northeast Nigerian border town of Gamboru from Boko Haram, the latest in a series of excursions into Nigerian territory as it battles the Islamist insurgent group.

Chadian forces have also liberated the Nigerian towns of Baga, Dikwa, Malam Fatori, Damasak, Ngala and parts of Bama in the past four days, Jubrin Gunda, a spokesman for a Nigerian militia group, said Tuesday by phone from northeastern city of Maiduguri.
