2018 Konduga bombings
On 16 February 2018, a triple suicide bombing occurred in Konduga, Borno State, northeastern Nigeria.[1] Two suicide bombers detonated their explosives at a busy fish market at about 8:30pm.[1] Four minutes later, a third bomber exploded nearby. The attacks killed 19 people (18 civilians and a soldier) and injured another 70.[1]
No-one claimed responsibility for the attack, but jihadists Boko Haram have carried out major attacks in Konduga before (including massacres in January and February 2014) and since (including a triple suicide bombing in June 2019).[1]
