Gunmen have opened fire on a church in northern Burkina Faso, killing at least six people, officials say.
The attackers reportedly arrived on seven motorbikes at the end of Sunday's service and killed the pastor, two of his sons and three other worshippers, reports BBC.
It is the first attack on a church since jihadist violence erupted in the West African country in 2016.
Fighters affiliated to al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group as well as the local Ansarul Islam have been active.
Sunday's attack on the Protestant church happened in the small town of Silgadji near Djibo, the capital of Soum province, at around 12:00 local time (12:00 GMT).
The number of attackers involved or their possible affiliations is not clear.
