Recorded an explosion and a shooting in the capital of Burkina Faso

MADRID, 30 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The capital of Burkina Faso, Ouagadougou, has been the scene this Friday of an explosion and intense shooting, which has been followed by a major military deployment, without the causes of the event being known at the moment.

According to information collected by the Burkina Faso news portal Infowakat, the explosion took place in the surroundings of the capital's airport, after which the military was deployed in important points of the city.

In this context, the headquarters of the public television network has been surrounded, after which it has suspended broadcasts. The military junta in power since the January coup has not yet ruled on what happened.

Burkina Faso has generally experienced a significant increase in insecurity since 2015, with attacks by both the Al Qaeda affiliate and the Islamic State affiliate, causing a wave of internally displaced persons and refugees to other countries in the region.
