ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — An emergency official says at least 10 people are dead in an explosion that ripped through a Catholic church during Christmas Mass near Nigeria’s capital.

Yushau Shuaib of Nigeria’s National Emergency Management Agency says it’s likely more people died in the blast Sunday at St. Theresa Catholic Church in Madalla, a town in Niger state close to the capital, Abuja.

Authorities have yet to say what caused the blast. However, it comes amid a wave of sectarian attacks carried out by a radical Muslim sect known as Boko Haram.
