In Burkina Faso, nearly a dozen soldiers have been killed in an ambush in the north, only one day after militants killed 35 civilians in an attack on a military base in the same region. Tuesday’s attack was one of the deadliest attacks in the last five years in Burkina Faso. Almost all of the victims were women. No group has claimed responsibility so far. Burkina Faso borders Niger and Mali and has experienced an increasing number of attacks amid growing violence in the Sahel.
