At least 26 people were killed after an armed group attacked a village in Mali`s central region, near the border with Burkina Faso, a government official said Monday, the latest violent attack in the conflict-hit region.
The assailants attacked villagers as most of them worked in their farmlands in the Dembo village on Sunday evening, said Moulaye Guindo, the mayor of Bankass town where Dembo is located. Such attacks are becoming increasingly frequent in central Mali as the country`s military junta also struggles to contain violence in the northern region.
