The Red Cross says at least 63 people have died in a wave of violence in northeast Nigeria after a series of bombings and shootings around the city of Damaturu.

Armed gunmen rampaged through the town Friday night, bombing police stations, a bank, and several churches. Gunfire rang out through the night, and in the morning.

The gunmen also attacked the nearby village of Potiskum, leaving two dead there, according to witnesses.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks. Locals blame the Islamist sect Boko Haram, which has staged a series of attacks around northern Nigeria.

Government officials have not released a statement on the incidents.

Friday evening's attacks followed multiple bombings in the nearby city of Maiduguri earlier in the day. Several people were injured, but the death toll in that attack was unclear.

The attacks come town days before the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha, or the feast of sacrifice.
