More than 30 were killed in a suicide attack in Nigeria on Tuesday.
The blast occurred at 8 p.m. local time in a marketplace in the northeastern city of Yola, leaving 32 killed and 80 wounded, according to Red Cross and National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).
No group has yet claimed responsibility, but officials suspect the militant extremist group, Boko Haram, to have carried out the attack.
The militant group has killed over 20,000 in the last six years in its attempt to promote Islamic, or “Sharia,” law in Nigeria, with the violence having spread to neighboring countries like Chad, Cameroon, and Niger. It drew international attention with the abduction of 300 schoolgirls in April 2014.
Having lost most of the territory it acquired to the Nigerian army, Boko Haram’s attacks have been on smaller scales in markets, bus stations, and places of worship, according to Reuters.
Tuesday night’s bombing is the first attack in three weeks, after the suicide bombings of mosques in two northeastern cities, resulting in 42 deaths and hundreds injured on October 23.
