Fourteen people are dead, and four are missing after suspected Boko Haram attacked three villages Monday night in the Hong local government area of Adamawa state, Nigeria. Numerous homes and businesses were vandalized or burned in the attacks, which struck the villages of Zah, Mubang Yadul, and Kijing. Many villagers fled for their safety. The attackers reportedly fled into the bush before security personnel arrived. The attacks, which occurred days after the U.S. struck ISIS-affiliated militants in northwest Nigeria, were the latest in a string of assaults on villages in the area to occur around Christmas.
