At least 29 people were killed in Burkina Faso's
troubled north on Sunday after a food convoy and a transport truck were
attacked, France 24 reported Monday.
A "terrorist" attack on the convoy killed
14 civilians, while the truck hit an explosive device in Sanmatenga province,
killing 15 people and wounding six, the government said in separate statements.
"This drama comes as important security efforts
are underway in this region," it said. "Military reinforcements have
been deployed."
