Two women carried out suicide bombings at a bustling market in the north-east Nigerian town of Madagali on Friday morning, killing at least 30 people and wounding 67, the army said.
The attack came as the Nigerian government said it was routing the Boko Haram extremists blamed for the blasts.
The explosions occurred on the edge of the extremist group’s Sambisa forest stronghold, which the Nigerian military has been bombing ahead of ground assaults.
Friday’s blasts came simultaneously at opposite ends of the market selling grains and vegetables, according to AhmaduGulak, a driver who was buying tea there.
