An attack on Ankouna hamlet on Wednesday killed 11 people and injured one, said Casimir Segueda, governor of the Centre-North district.
According to AFP, the attack was carried out by "a dozen highly armed men" on motorcycles. On Wednesday, two civilian volunteers with the army's anti-deviants operations were slain in Noaka, and stores were set on fire and villagers fled to Kaya.
Since 2015, militants belonging to “Al-Qaeda” and “Daesh” have been raiding Burkina Faso from Mali.
