A suspected military airstrike struck a local market along the Borno Yobe border during peak hours.
Early reports say more than 50 people may have died, while many others suffered injuries as civilians were caught in the blast.
The military reportedly carried out the strike as part of an operation targeting insurgents in Nigeria’s North-East. However, civilians appear to be among the victims.
Officials are still verifying the number of casualties. Witnesses say dozens were killed, and the death toll could rise as rescue efforts continue.
The incident has renewed concerns about targeting accuracy and the safety of civilians during counter-insurgency operations.
Authorities have not released a full statement. Meanwhile, calls for a thorough investigation continue to grow.
