About 11 soldiers have been reportedly killed and several others injured, following an attack by suspected terrorists on a military base in Birnin Gwari LGA of Kaduna state.

A source whose brother was among the soldiers killed by the terrorists disclosed this to Punch on Tuesday.

It was gathered that the terrorists, in large numbers on motorcycles, stormed the Polwire village where they engaged the soldiers on Monday.

Thelagostimes reports that this recent attack comes a week after terrorists attacked a Kaduna-bound train, which left several people dead, scores injured and hundreds abducted.

However, the military authorities have not confirmed the attack.
