Boko Haram islamists have shot dead six people in a village in south Niger, near the border with Nigeria, a local official said Saturday.<\/p>\n

“Six people were killed Friday night by Boko Haram at Bague Djaradi,” a village in Toumour commune, the official told AFP, adding the assailants were on foot.<\/p>\n

The attack was the latest in a series ascribed to the jihadist group which began a bloody insurgency in 2009 that has spread to neighbouring countries, prompting a regional military response.<\/p>\n

Some 27,000 people have been killed and two million displaced, sparking a dire humanitarian crisis in the region.<\/p>\n

Militants have targeted soldiers and civilians alike, and are blamed for abductions of children and employees of foreign companies.<\/p>\n

Last Tuesday the group was blamed for the deaths of four people in Bosso, a town not far from Toumour, and for the torching of several vehicles.<\/p>\n

The Bosso and Toumour attacks follow on a recent military offensive against the group in the area which saw more than 200 militia killed, according to army sources.<\/p>\n

Although Lake Chad forms a natural barrier limiting the group’s easy access across the border from Nigeria the presidents of Chad, Nigeria, Niger and Cameroon appealed for international support at a November 29 meeting in Chad’s capital N’Djamena.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
