Multiple suicide bombings by suspected female attackers struck Gwoza, Nigeria, on Saturday, June 29th, leaving at least 18 people dead and causing widespread injuries.

The attacks began at a wedding celebration, where the first bomb detonated. Just minutes later, another explosion rocked the area near the General Hospital. In a horrific third attack, a female bomber disguised as a mourner targeted a funeral service, detonating her device amidst grieving attendees.

The Borno State Emergency Management Agency Director-General, Barkindo Saidu, confirmed the devastating toll, which includes children, pregnant women, and adults. #terrorism #nigeria #explosion #bornostate
