At least 15 people have been killed and two seriously
injured in an attack on a mosque in Burkina Faso. The gunmen entered the Grand
Mosque in the village of Salmossi on Friday evening as those inside were
praying.
The attack prompted many locals to flee the village, which
is close to the Malian border.
One resident from the nearby town of Gorom-Gorom told AFP
news agency: "Since this morning, people have started to flee the
area."
He added that there was a "climate of panic despite
military reinforcements" put in place following the attack.
No group has admitted carrying out the attack.
