An explosion believed to be caused by a suicide bomber struck a mosque in Borno state, Nigeria, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries.
According to eyewitness accounts, the blast occurred while worshippers were engaged in evening prayers. Initial reports indicate seven fatalities, though official casualty figures have not been released.
Social media posts show unverified images of the scene, depicting a market area filled with dust following the detonation.
The attack took place in Maiduguri, the state capital. While no organization has claimed responsibility, militant groups have previously targeted mosques and crowded locations in the region using suicide bombers and improvised explosive devices.
