On June  4th,  the Islamic State (IS) published on Amaq News Agency a three images photo report from the killing of 3 Christian civilians with machine guns that happened the day before, on June 3rd, on the Kamuya-Burate road, Borno State, in northern  Nigeria.



According to the official IS statement above, the ISWAP mujahideen captured 3 Christians on the Kamuya-Burate road in the Borno State, then killed them using small arms and light weapons such as machine guns. 



It seems that the IS has been enhancing military operativeness against Christians and civilians throughout all its wilayat due to the recent rising number of captures and killings.



For example, on June 3rd, there have been monitored two different armed assaults in Beni region, Eastern Congo, against Christians conducted by ISCAP militants, one near Ndalia village, in which one civilian was captured and slaughtered, and the other near Mangina Town, in which 3 Christians were captured and slaughtered.



Moreover, on June 4th, the IS claimed a double target armed attack of the ISCAP mujahideen on the Mashua village, Beni Region, eastern Congo, which resulted in the slaughtering of 19 Christians.
