Suicide bombers have killed dozens of people at a mosque and a market in north-east Nigeria, in a twin attack bearing the hallmarks of Islamist insurgents Boko Haram.
The blasts happened at about 1:20pm (1220 GMT) in Mubi, a city 125 miles (200km) from the Adamawa state capital, Yola.
Two Islamic State suicide bombers struck in Afghanistan’s capital on Monday, killing 25 people, including nine journalists who had rushed to the scene of the first attack, in the deadliest assault on reporters since the fall of the Taliban in 2001.
An Agence France-Presse photographer, a cameraman for the local Tolo TV station and several reporters for the Afghan branch of Radio Free Europe were among the fatalities, police said. At least 45 people were wounded in the attacks, according to Kabul police spokesman Hashmat Stanekzai, who said four police were among those killed.
