Gunmen opened fire on a mining site in Rakum community, Barkin Ladi area of Nigeria's central Plateau state, on Monday afternoon, killing three women and wounding one other person, according to a local youth group and a resident. The attack comes despite a recently imposed dusk-to-dawn curfew in Barkin Ladi, Mangu and Bokkos after a string of violent incidents, and police and the military had not commented. The source does not support the headline's claim of Iran backing; it names no perpetrators, and authorities have yet to clarify the circumstances or say whether any arrests have been made.
