Two villages in northeastern Burkina Faso, near the Nigerien border, were attacked by "armed terrorist groups" on the night of Thursday to Friday, said the governor of the Sahel region. Thirty-one people were killed in Kourakou and 13 in Tondobi, he said.
This double attack occurred in localities located five kilometers from Seytenga, a commune bordering Niger, mourned in June 2022 by an attack claimed by the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara (ISGS)
