MAIDUGURI, Nigeria—At least 30 people were killed in a triple suicide attack in northeast Nigerian state of Borno, state emergency officials said on June 17—the biggest mass killing this year by Islamic terrorists.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, which prompted President Muhammadu Buhari to call for security to be stepped up in areas where large groups gather.
