No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, which come amid ongoing security challenges in the region involving armed groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP. The recent surge in violence is believed to be linked to military operations in the Sambisa forest. The attacks mark one of the deadliest incidents in Maiduguri in years, with over 200 people injured and in need of urgent medical care.
