Two military officials in the town of Bosso, where soldiers from Chad and Niger are massed in preparation for operations against Boko Haram, said the incident occurred in a village across the border in the Abadam area of Nigeria's Borno State.
"We don't know whose plane it was. We understand that the victims are residents who were gathered for a ceremony but who were mistaken for terrorists," said a military source. "Around 30 people perished."
A second military source in Bosso, which is around 20 km (12 miles) from the scene of the bombing, confirmed details of the incident.
