Four suicide bombers killed about 25 people in a village in Cameroon's Far North region on Monday, a local official said, the most deadly in a string of recent attacks in an area beset by violence connected to Islamist militant group Boko Haram.
Two bombers struck the Bodo central market while others hit the town's main entrance and exit points, the official said.
"There was a quadruple suicide bombing in the village of Bodo this morning. There are around 25 deaths and several wounded," he said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
Cameroonian troops form part of an 8,700-strong regional force created to defeat Boko Haram, which has waged a six-year campaign to carve out a separate state in northeastern Nigeria.
