The governor of the Cascades region, near the border with Ivory Coast, said the bodies of 15 people who had been abducted on Sunday were found in a village.

They had been seized whilst travelling in minibuses and were then shot.

The army in Burkina Faso has also confirmed a deadly attack in the country’s northern Sahel region. It says the victims included 10 members of the military police – 10 of their colleagues were still missing.

The country has faced increasing attacks by jihadist groups since 2015.

At least two million people have been displaced.
