27 Nigerian Soldiers Killed In Jihadist Suicide Attack

At least 27 Nigerian soldiers were killed in a jihadist suicide attack in the northeast, two army sources told.
On Friday, troops launched a ground offensive on a stronghold of Islamic State-affiliated militants in a wasteland straddling Borno and Yobe states.
“The suicide attack killed 27 soldiers, including the commander, and left several others seriously injured,” a military officer said, making this one of the deadliest suicide attacks targeting soldiers in recent years.
A suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laden vehicle concealed in thick foliage into a convoy of advancing troops targeting the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in Timbuktu Triangle, the two military officers said.
ISWAP split from the mainstream Boko Haram in 2016 to become the dominant militant faction in the northeast. They seized territory hitherto under Boko Haram control, including the Timbuktu Triangle and Sambisa forest, a game reserve turned jihadist stronghold.

JK Cement Enters Joint Venture With Kashmir’s Saifco Cement

JK Cement has entered a joint venture with J&K’s Saifco Cement through which it will expand its offerings in the region where infrastructure development is a priority, as per a press release from the company.
JK Cement Limited has announced the acquisition of a 60% equity stake in Saifco Cement Private Limited. This acquisition, valued at approximately Rs 174 Crore, was approved during the board meeting held on January 25.
Strategically located in Khunmoh, Srinagar, Saifco brings an integrated manufacturing unit with clinker and grinding capacities that perfectly complement JK Cement’s expansion strategy. With a recent annual turnover hovering around Rs 86 crore, the acquisition represents more than a financial transaction – it’s a territorial chess move in India’s competitive cement landscape.
Saifco’s integrated manufacturing unit at Khunmoh in Srinagar is spread across 54 acres of land and has a clinker capacity of 0.26 million tonnes per anum and a grinding capacity of 0.42 million tonnes per annum. It has captive limestone reserves spread on an area of 144.25 hectares with a total mineable reserve of 129 million tonnes.
