At least 12 people were killed in the Cameroonian town of Waza by two suicide bombers, according to reports out of the country. The attack was carried out by two women who walked into a busy area in the center of Waza, which is located five miles from the Nigerian border, and set off the bombs.
Officials in the country said that over 40 people were wounded in the blasts, with the most seriously wounded being flown to nearby hospitals.
No group claimed responsibility for the attack, but the region has been a frequent target of Boko Haram militants in their eight-year bid to carve out an Islamic caliphate beyond Nigeria.
