According to reports in the local media, the village of Diallassagou in the Bandiagara region, located in the central part of the country, came under an armed attack by unidentified individuals.
The attack targeted civilians who were preparing to go to the fields, resulting in the deaths of at least 20 people and injuring 22 others, according to initial assessments.
