Separatist fighters ambushed two members of Cameroon security Tuesday night in Bambui locality of the region, said a senior security official.
"The soldiers were drinking in a bar and were about to leave when the terrorists who were hiding opened fire. In the clashes that ensued, the two soldiers, the bar owner and a woman were killed," the official who opted for anonymity told Xinhua.
A 26-year-old lady was also injured in the clashes and is receiving treatment in the hospital, the official added.
