At least 18 killed and dozens injured in multiple suicide bombings in Nigeria

A series of coordinated suicide bombings occurred in Gwoza, Borno State, Nigeria, resulting in the deaths of at least 18 people and injuring dozens more. The attacks targeted a wedding celebration, a hospital, and a funeral. According to reports, one of the bombers was a woman who detonated explosives while wearing a baby on her back during the wedding ceremony. No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, but they are believed to be linked to an ongoing insurgency by Islamic extremist groups in the region. The violence has been ongoing for over a decade and has spilled across borders around Lake Chad.
