Boko Haram insurgents attacked Kirawa community in Gwoza LGA, Borno State, killing three soldiers. Residents fled across the border into Cameroon.

Gunmen attacked security operatives along the Otukpo–Ohimini axis in Benue State, killing two officers and carting away their rifles.

In a coordinated multi-target assault, Boko Haram insurgents attacked a divisional police station and two commercial banks in Saminaka, a key town on the road between Kaduna and Jos. The attackers used IEDs to breach the security of the banks and the police station, engaging in a firefight to suppress local law enforcement while they looted the financial institutions.

A large, multi-pronged ISWAP force staged an attack on a Nigerian Army convoy and base in Mainok, Borno State. The operation was carried out in several phases. First, the militants ambushed a military convoy transporting newly acquired weapons to Maiduguri, using their own MRAPs and rocket-propelled grenades to overwhelm the escort, seizing weapons and two MRAPs. They then divided into three groups: one group stormed and overran the 156 Task Force Battalion base, destroying a T-55 battle tank and a BTR-4EN, and setting it on fire; a second group set up an ambush on the Damaturu road, killing three soldiers and injuring nine others; a third group did the same on the Jakana-Mainok road. When the military called in air support, a NAF fighter jet, operating with flawed intelligence and unable to distinguish between friendly forces and insurgents dressed in similar military camouflage, mistakenly bombed a gun truck carrying troops on a reinforcement mission, killing 20 soldiers. The insurgents withdrew, setting fire to the local police station in a rage before fleeing to their camp around the Lawan Mainari axis.
