Some 30 people have been killed and 80 others injured as three suicide bombers attacked the island of Koulfoua on the Chadian side of Lake Chad, Reuters reports, citing security sources. The attacks coincided with market day and the death toll may rise. “Three suicide bombers blew themselves up in three different places at the weekly market on Loulou Fou, an island in Lake Chad,” sources also told AFP. No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attacks.
However, the the region is under a state of emergency after attacks by Boko Haram militant group . Earlier this year, thousands of people fleeing the militant group sought refuge on the island.
