The Boko Haram terrorist group burnt down a village in Niger's southeast region of Bosso, near the Nigerian border, killing two fishermen, media reported.
The terrorists are also reported to have destroyed a mobile telephone operator's installations in Maine-Soroa, some 150 km west of Bosso, Xinhua news agency reported citing a radio station's news bulletin on Monday.
After being defeated by Niger's defence and security forces, Boko Haram has resorted to carrying out isolated attacks in Diffa region, especially along Komadougou river which forms the border between Niger and Nigeria.
Since February 6, 2015, the localities of Bosso and Diffa in Niger have come under repeated attacks by the Boko Haram from its positions in Nigeria.
Due to the persistent Boko Haram attacks, last Thursday the Nigerian parliament unanimously adopted a bill proposing an extension of the state of emergency in Diffa for three months starting from February 27, 2015.
