The base, located at Fish Dam in Baga, Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State, came under attack around 1:00 a.m., according to intelligence sources who spoke with Zagazola Makama.
The insurgents aimed to sabotage Swamp Boggeys—specialised amphibious vehicles recently acquired by the Borno State Government for clearing operations along the Lake Chad waterways.
A fierce gunfight erupted between the attackers and naval personnel, prompting immediate reinforcement from nearby troops stationed in Baga.
“Though the base held its ground, some damage was recorded. An ambulance and two vehicles were destroyed, and a few personnel sustained injuries during the exchange,” one of the sources disclosed.
The confrontation lasted over two hours before the terrorists were forced to retreat. Crucially, the Swamp Boggeys remained undamaged and secured.
As of press time, the Air Component Command (ACC) has launched follow-up aerial missions to pursue and neutralize the fleeing insurgents across the Lake Chad region.
Military authorities noted that further details would be shared as investigations progress.

According to a weather update shared on Sunday via its official X handle, NiMet said the day is expected to begin with hot and sunny conditions in many areas before changing later.
In the North, morning heat is expected to give way to isolated thunderstorms later in the day, with places like Taraba likely to experience brief storms and gusty winds.
For the North-Central region, the agency predicted a warm and calm start, followed by possible thunderstorms and rainfall in some states, while others may experience strong winds. Affected areas may include Niger, Kwara, Benue, Kogi, Nasarawa, and the Federal Capital Territory.
In the South, more intense storm activity is expected as the day progresses, with states such as Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Enugu, Anambra, Rivers, and Delta likely to see rain, lightning, and possible disruption to outdoor activities.
NiMet advised residents to take precautions, including securing loose items that could be affected by strong winds and avoiding unnecessary travel during heavy rain due to reduced visibility and slippery roads.
It also warned against staying in flood-prone areas during rainfall and urged people to seek safe shelter during lightning activity.
Airlines were also advised to obtain regular weather updates from NiMet offices to ensure safe flight operations.
