Over 80 persons were reportedly killed in north-eastern part of Nigeria in a gun and bomb attack by suspected Boko Haram militants that occurred over the weekend.
Pictures from the village of Dalori show burned-out buildings and charred livestock.
Fires from the burning village could be seen in the the city of Maiduguri, nearly 10km (six miles) away.
One witness reported hearing the screams of children as huts were set on fire.
Other survivors say the shooting on Saturday evening continued for hours and left barely any parts of the village untouched.
Residents said at least 80 people were killed, although a Reuters reporter counted 65 bodies at a hospital morgue.
