Suspected jihadists attacked a border post on Ivory Coast's border with Burkina Faso overnight, and around 10 people were killed, security sources said Thursday. The attack "targeted an Ivorian frontier post at Kafolo," where an anti-jihadist operation took place a few days earlier, an Ivorian source said, in an account confirmed by a Burkinabe source. It is the first jihadist attack on Ivorian soil since March 2016, when a raid on the southeastern beach resort of Grand-Bassam left 19 dead. pgf-ab/ri/txw
