A suicide bombing blamed on Boko Haram extremists killed 32 people and wounded around 80 Tuesday at a truck stop in northeastern Nigeria, officials said.

Most victims were vendors and passersby, police spokesman Deputy Superintendent Othman Abubakar told The Associated Press following the attack in Yola.

At least 32 people were killed and about 80 wounded victims were evacuated to hospitals after Tuesday night’s blast, coordinator Sa’ad Bello of the National Emergency Management Agency told the AP.

It was the third suicide bombing in as many months in a city overflowing with some of the 2.3 million refugees driven from their homes by the violence linked to the Islamist militants.
