YAOUNDE, June 10 (Xinhua) -- At least four people were shot dead at a bar in Cameroon's war-torn English-speaking Northwest Region overnight into Wednesday, according to witnesses and security sources.
The shooting occurred in the Noni locality when gunmen, believed to be separatist fighters, arrived at the bar and opened fire.
"The separatist terrorists opened fire, shooting everywhere, and in the process killed two women and two soldiers who were drinking in the bar. We have deployed additional troops to the area to track down these criminals," a security source in the region told Xinhua, adding that several others sustained serious injuries.
Cameroon's English-speaking Northwest and Southwest regions have been gripped by an armed separatist conflict since 2017, with separatist groups seeking to establish an independent state.
