(MENAFN- QNA) At least 13 people were killed on Monday after an explosion ripped through a school in northeast Nigeria, as students gathered for morning assembly before classes began.
A teacher at the school, a medic and a rescue worker said that the blast happened at the Government Comprehensive Senior Science Secondary School in Potiskum, Yobe state.
The rescue worker said that 13 bodies had been taken to hospital with more than 30 others left "with various degrees of injuries". There was no official death toll.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but Boko Haram militants are likely to be the prime suspects.
