Terrorists killed 14 people, half of them children, in an attack in Cameroon's English-speaking Northwest region on Wednesday, state media reported.
The deadly attacks occurred in the village of Guidado.
"This morning... an attack carried out by a terrorist group against civilians resulted in the deaths of 14 people, among them one man, six women, and seven children aged two to 11," Northwest Regional Governor Adolphe Lele Lafrique told public broadcaster CRTV.
"Fourteen people were evacuated to nearby hospitals in Ndu and Nkambe to receive first aid," the governor said, adding that President Paul Biya had ordered "measures" to restore security in the region.
'United nation'
Separatists seeking independence for the Anglophone part of Cameroon have frequently kidnapped or killed politicians, civil servants and teachers accused of collaborating with the government.
The government, however, maintains that Cameroon remains one united nation.
