Burkina Faso attacks kill 12 security personnel

OUAGADOUGOU, 06 August 2022, (TON): Local and security sources said “suspected militants in northern Burkina Faso have killed three soldiers and nine civilian auxiliaries.”

A security source and an official with the VDP auxiliary force said “the twin attacks were carried out in Bourzanga district.”

The landlocked Sahel state is wrestling with a seven-year-old militant insurgency that has claimed thousands of lives and driven some two million people from their homes.

More than 40 percent of the country is no longer under government control, according to official figures.
