N'DJAMENA, Chad
At least ten people were killed in a bomb explosion in Chadian capital N'djamena on Monday morning, according to a police spokesman.
In statements to the press, Paul Manga, spokesman for the Chadian police, said a number of suicide bombers had "detonated their bomb when they saw the police."
"The explosion caused 11 deaths, including five police officers, five terrorists and one informant," Manga said.
"Mahamat Gueni, deputy director of economic affairs for the judicial police, was among those killed," he added.
Notably, Manga refrained from attributing the attack to Nigeria’s Boko Haram militant group, which remains active in the Lake Chad Basin region.
Monday’s attack comes only two weeks after twin suicide attacks rocked N’Djamena, leaving 34 people dead.
