Twin blasts hit a crowded market in Madagali district of Nigeria's northeastern state of Adamawa on Friday, killing at least 11 people, eyewitnesses said.

The explosions occurred simultaneously at the opposite ends of the local vegetable market in Madagali, causing buyers and sellers to run for safety, witness Audu Yusuf said.

At least 10 injured people have been sent to a nearby hospital so far, said the witness.

A rescuer said it was still unclear whether the twin blasts were carried out by suicide bombers or planted explosives.
