Yaounde (Cameroon): As many as seven persons were killed and several others injured in two suicide attacks in Cameroon's Far North Region.

The two suicide attackers were also killed in the blasts in Bourvare, a village near the Nigerian border.

Regional Governor Midjiyawa Bakari held the militant group Boko Haram responsible for the attack, Anadolu news agency reported.

Boko Haram has carried out attacks and kidnappings in Cameroon as it has widened its insurgency in the country.
