Three girls recruited as suicide bombers were killed in Cameroon on Saturday, a military officer said.
The girls, believed to be between the ages of 11 and 15, were killed trying to carry out attacks for the Boko Haram extremist group, said the divisional officer of the Mayo-Sava border region, Babila Akawa.
Two girls died when they detonated their explosives after police spotted them crossing the border from Nigeria to Cameroon, dpa quoted Akawa as saying.
Another was killed in the northern border town of Mora as she tried to flee. Two other girls are believed to have escaped.
