In Nigeria, 20 people have been killed in an attack on a community in the north-central region. The authorities said that the attack occurred last night in the Gari Ya Waye community in the Jos North area of Plateau state. The state government imposed a 48-hour curfew to prevent further attacks. No group has claimed responsibility yet. Attacks in Plateau State are part of a long-running cycle of violence in north-central Nigeria, where disputes over land and grazing between mostly Muslim Fulani herders and largely Christian farming communities frequently escalate into deadly clashes. Criminal gangs are also active in the region.
