KABUL: (Middle East Press) Five people have been killed in a double bomb attack in a town near Cameroon’s volatile far northern border with Nigeria.
Officials said the bombings were carried out in the town of Dabanga on Saturday.
The first blast was carried out by a female assailant inside a house while the second occurred when another female attacker blew up her explosives near a local store.
According to the governor of the far northern region, Midjiyawa Bakary, two Cameroonian soldiers were also seriously injured in the attacks.
Authorities said the two females were Nigerians who had entered Cameroon as refugees.
No group or individual has so far claimed responsibility for the deadly incident, but the Boko Haram Takfiri terrorist group, which is based in neighboring Nigeria, has carried out similar attacks in Cameroon.
Over 100 people have reportedly lost their lives in the far north of Cameroon in about 20 bomb blasts blamed on Nigeria-based Takfiri terrorists since July.
