Authorities claim that a bomb that struck a convoy of vehicles in northern Burkina Faso, where jihadist militants are active, killed at least 35 civilians.
The explosion on the route between Djibo and Bourzanga injured dozens of other people.
The army of Burkina Faso uses convoys to transport supplies to towns that the jihadists have otherwise cut off.
Since the Burkina Faso military took over in January, Islamist attacks and civilian deaths have soared.
One of the world's poorest nations, Burkina Faso, has been struggling to deal with a terrorist insurgency that rushed in from Mali's neighbor in 2015.
Over 2,000 people have perished, and 1.9 million people have been forced to abandon their homes.
