Thursday morning attack targeted the military detachment of Ougarou, in country’s Est Region.
An attack on a military detachment in east Burkina Faso on Thursday left 33 soldiers dead and 12 injured, the military-led government said, the latest bout of violence in a country locked in fighting against a jihadist insurgency.
The army said in a statement that the besieged soldiers killed at least 40 “terrorists” before reinforcements arrived. Violence in the country has spiralled in recent months as authorities have struggled to regain ground despite boosting security operations.
