| Description |
Twin suicide blasts killed at least 13 and injured 17 others, many of them soldiers, at a bar in the border town of Fotokol. The bombers were dressed in burqas and struck as locals were breaking their Ramadan fast. Of the 13 killed (all reportedly during the first blast at the bar), 1 was a Chadian soldier, while of those wounded at least 4 were Chadian soldiers and 3 were Cameroonian soldiers. Most of the soldiers were wounded in the second attack which hit as soldiers from a nearby special forces camp approached the bar after the first blast, although other reports say the second bomber headed straight for the military camp and there was a gunfight before the detonation. The attack were claimed by Boko Haram. |
