At least seven soldiers and 20 “terrorists” lost their lives following militant attacks on two military bases in the north of Burkina Faso. 

According to a statement, four volunteers aiding the army in the fight against militants were also killed in the attacks on Thursday in Loroum and Sanmatenga provinces.
