Boko Haram has released a new video, with leader Abubakar Shekau again failing to appear in it. His continued absence has increased speculation about his fate.
He was last heard from in March, when he released an audio message pledging allegiance to the Islamic State group.
In the eight-minute video, an unidentified young man speaks in the name of the Islamic State in West Africa calling on people to be patient despite recent military setbacks: "We are still present everywhere we had been before."
The video shows the militants attacking a security checkpoint, seizing weapons, and slitting the throat of a man dressed in a police uniform.
Mr Shekau also failed to appear in a Boko Haram video released in June.
