At least 11 Algerian soldiers were killed after they were attacked by gunmen west of the capital Algiers, a security source has said.
The source did not give further details about the attack which took place on Thursday night in the Ain Defla area.
Algeria has found stability after a 1990s war with armed Islamist groups.
But al Qaeda-allied fighters and a splinter armed group loyal to Islamic State are still active in pockets of the country, mostly in remote mountain areas, Reuters reports.
