January 26, 2016 03:52

At least 25 people are reported to have been killed after suicide bombers struck a town in northern Cameroon near the border with Nigeria.

A local official said many of those who died had been in the market in Bodo. At least three suicide bombers were said to be involved.

The Nigeria-based militant group Boko Haram is suspected of carrying out the attack.

Last month, two female suicide bombers blew themselves up in Bodo.

Cameroon is part of a regional coalition fighting Boko Haram, along with Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Benin
