The death toll from an attack Monday on a military base in northern Burkina Faso rose to 24, the military said, in an unprecedented blow to the army in its campaign against jihadist insurgents.
An “extraordinary meeting of the defence council” was underway at the presidential palace in the capital Ouagadougou, a security source told AFP. Monday’s attack came four days after suspected jihadists raided a village in the restive north, killing 15 people, plundering and burning shops. Those groups are believed to have been responsible for around 500 deaths. Burkina’s capital Ouagadougou has been attacked three times.
