Attack on Burkina Faso convoy kills 11 soldiers

Following a terrorist attack on a convoy, according to the government of Burkina Faso, 11 troops were found dead and about 50 civilians are still missing.

The attack on Monday injured twenty-eight additional persons, including 20 troops, and a search is still going on for the unaccounted-for.

The military patrol was accompanying the vehicles as they transported supplies to people living in the country's north.

The assault came after a Sunday incident that left four individuals injured on another army-supported convoy.

The military took control of Burkina Faso in a coup in January, promising to put an end to an Islamist insurgency that has murdered thousands of people and forced two million more from their homes since 2015.
