During both attacks in Inates and Bani Bangou the terrorists claim to have killed at least 80 by their own hands, but that dozens more died in the desert after running from their bases. The troops stationed at the bases reportedly quickly withdrew during the first minutes of the attack, which led to the insurgents ambushing the fleeing soldiers outside their camps. In the Naba newspaper IS-Sahel also claimed various other attacks which took place across the Tillaberi region against the Nigerien army and its auxiliary militias, during which 30 soldiers and militiamen were allegedly killed and dozens more injured.
