Suicide attacks in Nigeria kill 23, wound more than 100
AI Summary
On Monday evening, multiple suicide bombings in Maiduguri, northeastern Nigeria, killed at least 23 people and wounded over 100. The three blasts followed an attack on a military post the previous night, with authorities suspecting jihadist involvement in both incidents. These attacks have shattered a period of relative calm in the city, which had become a safe haven amidst Nigeria's ongoing insurgency. Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) have increased attacks in the region recently as part of their 16-year campaign to establish a caliphate, which has resulted in over 40,000 deaths and the displacement of approximately 2 million people.
