Gunmen have stormed a private school in a restive area of Cameroon killing at least six children and wounding a dozen others, officials say.
Officials in the south-western city of Kumba blamed Anglophone secessionists for the attack. This has not been independently confirmed.
A local education official said the victims were aged between 12 and 14.
Parts of Cameroon have been gripped by unrest since Anglophone groups stepped up their push for independence in 2016.
Some schools in Cameroon’s Anglophone regions have recently reopened following a four-year shutdown due to threats from separatists fighting for an independent state of Ambazonia.
Anglophone activists say the country’s French-speaking majority is marginalising the English-speaking minority.
