One local elected official said “attackers on motorbikes killed at least 15 people around 3:30 pm (1430 GMT), four in the village of Danga-Zouani and four in the nearby village of Korombara. The others were killed in their fields.”
A senior local official spoke of “at least 10 people killed” by the motorbike raiders, some of them farmers sowing their fields, but added that the toll was “still provisional.”
“We have also been told that grain stores and huts were burned,” he said, adding that security forces had arrived to secure the area.
It was also the scene of a 2017 ambush in which four US special forces troops and five Nigerien soldiers died.
