The interim government said on Monday that armed attackers killed at least 22 civilians and three police officers during an attack in northern Burkina Faso on Saturday.
The attack took place on Saturday afternoon in the northern province of Seno in the West African country, which has become a hotbed of jihadist activity since 2015.
The regional governor granted provisional death tolls of 25 people, including 22 civilians and three police officers, the government said in a statement. Others were injured and material damage occurred, the government said, but did not elaborate.
