Cameroon: Double Boko Haram suicide attack kills six civilians
Two of the attackers died.
The blasts happened in Kolofata, where nine people died in a double suicide bombing in early June.
Another security source confirmed the death toll, but no further details were immediately available.
Cameroon’s North has regularly been hit by the Nigeria-based Boko Haram jihadists.
The Far North region, which borders Nigeria, has seen a resurgence in attacks blamed on Boko Haram after months of relative calm, reports News24.
In mid-June two civilians were killed in an attack in Limani, which is near Kolofata and the Nigerian border. Earlier in the month a soldier was also killed in Kolofata, News24 further reports.
