Authorities say at least 35 civilians were killed when a bomb exploded near a vehicle convoy in northern Burkina Faso, where jihadist rebels are active.
Several other people were injured in the blast on the road between Djibo and Bourzanga.
Convoys escorted by the army of Burkina Faso are used to deliver supplies to towns cut off by the jihadists.
