The convoy was headed for Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso in western Africa. The convoy was attacked by a homemade explosive device (IED) somewhere between Djibo and Bourzanga in the province of Soum, Sahel region, Sahel's governor told the press. The attack took place at around 5 p.m. and left 35 civilians dead and another 37 civilians injured. Those who survived the IED attack were taken to a nearby hospital. There have been no reports on which terrorist organization was responsible for attack, but just last month on August 3, Burkina Faso's army reported that 30 civilians had been killed during an airstrike on a jihadist hideout on the Kompienga-Pognoa highway.“During these operations, which enabled several dozen terrorists to be neutralized, the strikes unfortunately caused collateral victims among the civilian population,” Burkina Faso's army said at the time.
