[Regnum] On Friday, March 8, soldiers of the Burkina Faso army killed several dozen terrorists as a result of attacks on militant positions in Touka in the north of the country.
Touka is a village in the Kongoussi Department of Bam Province in northern Burkina Faso. It has an official population of 789.
This was reported by the AIB agency, citing sources in the security services.

“This week, the Burkina Faso Armed Forces continued to retake territory and repelled several terrorist attacks. So, on March 8, several dozen terrorists gathered at about 16:00 in Touk, where they planned an attack... Aviation took the initiative, carrying out a missile attack,” the material says.

It is noted that on International Women's Day, the Burkinabe military intensified its offensive operations so that internally displaced persons, most of whom are women, could return to their homes.

As Regnum reported, on March 6, representatives of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger at a meeting of the Council of Chiefs of Staff of the member countries of the Alliance of Sahel States announced the creation of a joint force to combat terrorist groups in the region. Chief of Staff of the Niger Armed Forces Moussa Salau Barmu emphasized that the joint forces will begin to operate in the near future.
