It is not clear why the release of the video - on an IS outlet on messaging app Telegram - was delayed until now.
The video consists mainly of raw footage, including images apparently filmed using a helmet camera belonging to one of the soldiers.
The video seems to suggest that the attack was carried out by IS militants.
It begins with still images showing an alleged pledge of allegiance to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi by members of the al-Qaeda-linked, Sahel-based group Jamaat Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM).
The alleged pledge was reported last month by a number of analysts but it had not been promoted by IS outlets on Telegram.
