On December 1–2, 2021, a group of unidentified militants attacked a military outpost in Porga, Atakora Department, northwestern Benin near its border with Burkina Faso. During the attack, two soldiers were killed and several others wounded. One of the attackers was slain by military forces. It has been suggested that the militants could have come from Burkina Faso, which has been fighting a low-intensity conflict against salafi jihadists since 2015. Colonel Didier Ahouanvoédo said that "traces of blood were seen suggesting that other dead or wounded were dragged in the direction of the withdrawal towards a neighboring country [Burkina Faso] where terrorist groups are rife."

Deux soldats ont été tués et plusieurs autres blessés. L'un des assaillants a été tué par les forces militaires au de cours de l'attaque. Il a été suggéré que les militants pourraient provenir du Burkina Faso, qui mène un conflit de faible intensité contre les djihadistes salafistes depuis 2015. Le colonel Didier Ahouanvoédo déclare que « des traces de sang ont été aperçues suggérant que d'autres morts ou blessés ont été entraînés dans le sens du repli vers un pays voisin [le Burkina Faso] où sévissent des groupes terroristes ». La veille, un attentat terroriste a eu lieu dans le département de l'Alibori, également au nord du Bénin, entraînant la mort d'un des terroristes. Ces deux incidents étaient les deuxièmes attentats terroristes au Bénin depuis 2019, lorsque des islamistes avaient enlevé un couple de touristes français.
