The attackers struck on Saturday night in Seytenga commune, part of Seno province, which lies in borderlands where militants linked to al-Qaeda and Islamic State are waging an insurgency

A local source who did not wish to be named said the provisional death toll stood at 165.

The highest death toll since the start of Burkina Faso’s security crisis was from an attack last June when militants killed over 130 civilians in a northeastern village. Army officers angry about the escalating attacks overthrew Burkina Faso’s president in January and vowed to improve security, but levels of violence have remained high.
