Tragedy struck a village in Burkina Faso as at least 15 Catholic worshippers lost their lives in a violent attack on Sunday. The incident occurred in the village of Essakane in the conflict-ridden northern region of the country. According to church officials, the attack, described as a 'terrorist attack,' resulted in the deaths of 12 individuals at the scene, with three others succumbing to their injuries later while receiving medical treatment.
No specific details were provided regarding the perpetrators of the attack, as no group has claimed responsibility. However, suspicion has been cast on jihadist groups known for targeting remote communities and security forces in the region.
