Attackers kill 25 villagers in house-to-house raid in central Nigeria

At least 25 people have been killed in an attack on a village in Nigeria's central Plateau state, according to Al Jazeera. The attackers reportedly moved through the village house to house, killing residents.

Plateau state lies in Nigeria's so-called Middle Belt, a region that has for years experienced recurring violence linked to disputes over land and resources between herders and farmers, as well as attacks by armed groups. Similar assaults on villages in the area have occurred repeatedly in recent years.

Further details on the circumstances of the attack, the identity of the assailants, or any response from authorities were not provided in the available report.
