Violence erupted in Burkina Faso as clashes occurred between the military and an armed group in the vicinity of Yamba, located in the eastern region near Fada Ngourma.

Currently, it is challenging to determine the exact number of casualties as authorities have not yet provided any specific information regarding the confrontations.

According to local sources, several regular army members lost their lives during these clashes.

On Thursday, a group of heavily armed individuals attacked the base of a national police unit and the Volunteers for the Defence of the Homeland, situated, approximately thirty kilometers from the eastern Fada Ngourma region.

Security experts have attributed the numerous security personal attacks in the Sahel to two categories. Morgan Asogba is a regional security expert.
