Tunisia’s interior ministry says the child the woman was carrying died on the spot and another small girl was wounded.

Tunisian authorities said a female suicide bomber killed herself and her baby during security operations in an interior mountainous province. Two other fighters were killed in the operations, according to an Interior Ministry statement on Thursday night. In one operation, Tunisian forces were tracking an armed group in the Mount Salloum area of Kasserine province.
