Gunmen Kill Over 30 Civilians in Kaduna State Community Attack
Unidentified gunmen launched a late-night assault on a community in Nigeria's northern Kaduna State, killing at least 30 people, including children. The attackers razed several homes and businesses before fleeing into nearby forest areas. Local authorities attribute the violence to bandit groups that have been increasingly active in the region, engaging in mass kidnappings and extortion as security forces struggle to maintain control in the country's northwest.
