Although sources say the insurgents met stiff resistance from the Nigerian Army who were supported by the Airforce, the encounter left many civilians injured.
According to sources, the terror group stormed the area in over a dozen gun trucks and could be seen heading towards the Army base in Damasak, as residents were forced to flee for safety.
The insurgents had shared a video of their weekend attack on Damasak town during which they burnt UN buildings and food storehouses.
The military has not released a statement on the attack yet.
