Four people were killed and a statue of the Virgin Mary was destroyed during a Catholic parade in Zimtenga, Burkina Faso, by unidentified armed men. The attackers set children free but killed four adults and burned the statue. This incident followed another attack where six people, including a priest, were killed in Dablo. The country faces a growing terrorist threat, with escalating attacks by armed Islamist groups causing mass displacement. Human Rights Watch highlighted the crisis, and the US is considering sending additional military support.
