An overnight suicide bombing, thought to be the work of Boko Haram, left at least 32 people dead and around 80 wounded at a truck stop in northeastern Nigeria on Tuesday, the Associated Press reports. It had been three weeks since Nigeria’s last bombing.

Most of the victims, police spokesman Deputy Superintendent Othman Abubakar told the AP, were vendors and passers-by.

Some 20,000 people have been killed in the six-year-long conflict between the Nigerian government and Boko Haram, and many more displaced.

Last month, a string of bombings targeting mosques tore through the country, although recently the Nigerian military reported stopping several suicide bombers.
