Islamist group Boko Haram is suspected to be behind the latest in a series of terror attacks in Nigeria.
A bombing near an army checkpoint in northern Nigeria has killed more than 30 people, according to local sources.
The roadside bomb ripped apart the bus station near a busy junction some 30km west of the town of Mubi on Thursday, according to witnesses and security forces. At least 40 people were reported to have died in the attack.
Five of those killed in the attack, near an army checkpoint, were said to have been soldiers. Several vehicles were left ablaze following the explosion.
The bomb is believed to have exploded as a team of soldiers and hunters were conducting a routine patrol of the area.
Mubi lies close to the Cameroon border and was overrun last month by Boko Haram militants seeking to create a separate Islamic state to secede from religiously mixed Nigeria.
In the past week alone, two female suicide bombers killed more than 45 in the Borno state capital Maiduguri, while nearly 50 fish vendors died in an ambush near Niger.
