Cameroon's army has said it killed 143 Boko Haram fighters.
This is coming as the government said it was the biggest defeat it had inflicted to date on the Islamist group.
The government spokesman, Issa Bakary, made the announcement on Tuesday in Yaoundé.
Bakary said the insurgents were killed after they attacked a military camp in Kolofata, in the north of Cameroon.
