Sharjah 24 - AFP: Thirteen individuals were killed in separate incidents in northern Burkina Faso, local sources reported Friday.
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.
