At least eight people, including aid workers, civilians and army auxiliaries, were killed in two attacks by suspected jihadists in central-eastern and northwestern Burkina Faso on Wednesday, according to reports. Two of the victims worked for Doctors Without Borders, which has suspended its activities in the area over safety concerns.

Three civilians and three volunteers with the security forces died when a village in central-eastern Burkina Faso was attacked in the early morning, a local source said.
