Armed men entered the Grand Mosque at the time when believers were praying.
This attack affected many local residents to leave the village, which is located near the mountain border.
Hundreds of people have been killed in this country in recent years, mainly by jihadist groups.
One witness said: “since the morning, people have started moving from area”, adding that there is a panic atmosphere in this country, despite the delivery of military reinforcements.
The responsibility for the attack has yet to be taken by any armed group.
The jihadists' attacks in Brukina Faso have increased since 2015, forcing authorities to shut down thousands of schools.
According to UN data, over 250 thousand people have been displaced from their homes in the last three months due to violence, writes “BBC”, Report Express.
