Ten police officers were killed and three others injured in Burkina Faso when militants attacked the northern Sebba city, the local media reported on Sunday.
The attack happened on Saturday, the heaviest loss recorded by the Burkinabe police in a single attack, local media reported quoting security sources.

According to the source, the assailants blocked various entrances to the city and damaged significant property.
The militants took away military equipment, including an armored vehicle, the media report said.
