At least 14 people have been killed after a suicide bomber detonated an explosive at a popular night spot in the town of Maroua in northern Cameroon, three days after two attacks there, authorities say.
Midjiyawa Bakari, governor of the far northern region of Cameroon, told The Associated Press news agency that authorites were still counting the dead and wounded following Saturday night’s explosion in the Pont Vert district.
A local official, who was reportedly at the scene of the attack, told Reuters that the suicide bomber was a woman.
While there was no immediate claim of responsibility, fighters from Boko Haram have been blamed for scores of attacks in the region this year.
