Suspected Boko Haram militants attacked the town of Buni Yadi in Yobe state late Thursday.
There was no information on any casualties after the attack, which started at around 9 pm, but sources told Reuters that security personnel engaged the insurgents in a battle.
A Reuters correspondent saw a detachment of troops with armoured personel carriers and a fighter jet heading towards the town on Friday morning.
Buni Yadi came into the spotlight when the sect killed about 59 students at a federal government college in the town on February 25, 2014.
The community has recorded more tragic incidents since then.
