Boko Haram militants dressed in military uniforms killed dozens of civilians and razed several villages in Borno yesterday; one of the villages, Attagara, was also attacked by Boko Haram on June 1, but villagers had killed a number of the militants at that time. The Defense Ministry denied reports that 10 generals and five other senior military officers have been found guilty in courts-martial of providing arms and information to Boko Haram; many more officers are reportedly being tried on similar charges at a divisional level.

Australia's foreign minister said her country has offered to help locate the kidnapped schoolgirls.
