Ten people were killed and 14 others injured in twin suicide bomb blasts which took place in Kolofata, a town neighboring Nigeria in Cameroon's Far-North Region, on Sunday morning, military sources told Xinhua on phone.
It is suspected Nigerian Islamic sect Boko Haram is behind the attacks.
"The attackers are two boys between 14-16 years old. This is the preliminary information I received, but needs to be further confirmed," Cameroonian Communication Minister Issa Tchiroma Bakary told Xinhua.
According to local sources, one of the two attacks took place in Latin Quarter in Kolofata where a lot of Nigerian refugees who ran away from Boko Haram attacks are living there. The second attack took place in a main market of the town.
Twin suicide bomb blasts happened on Sept. 3 in Kerawa, another town in Far-North Region along the border with Nigerian, leaving more than 40 people killed and over 100 injured.
