While official casualty figures have yet to be confirmed, reports suggest that around 20 soldiers were killed.
The clash involved intense fighting, including a suicide car bomb, which led to the destruction of a military vehicle and allowed some soldiers to escape.
The attackers seized control of the camp, set it on fire, and destroyed 14 military vehicles.
Additionally, they confiscated four four-wheel drive vehicles and a range of weapons, including heavy machine guns, before retreating to their positions.
In the aftermath, Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum expressed condolences over the soldiers’ deaths in Kareto.
A statement from the Borno State Commissioner for Information and Internal Security, Usman Tar, quoted the governor, who described the attack as a stark reminder of the brutal tactics employed by Boko Haram terrorists.
