At least 35 civilians were killed and 37 wounded when a convoy carrying supplies in Burkina Faso struck an improvised explosive device, the governor of the Sahel region told media.
The incident took place as the military-led convoy was supplying towns in the restive north on a road between Bourzanga to Djibo, according to a statement by Sahel region governor Rodolphe Sorgo.
According to a resident of Djibo, “several dozen vehicles, including trucks and public transport buses” were hit.
