'There were bodies in the market, and others in the bush.' Unidentified gunmen kill at least 30 people at a livestock market in eastern Burkina Faso's Kompienbiga town, residents say
The attack came a day after a convoy of mainly shopkeepers escorted by a local self-defence unit came under fire in the north of the West African country, leaving 15 dead.
The assailants "burst into the market riding motorbikes and started shooting, especially at people who were trying to flee", one resident said, estimating the death toll at around 30 from the attack on Saturday. But he added: "More than 30 bodies were collected" after the attack. He said his brother was at the market at the time and he had had "no news" from him since.A local official put the death toll at "several dozen" including vendors and residents, while a security source said "armed terrorists" carried out the attack, while declining to estimate how many were killed.
