Burkina Faso's President Kabore condemns terror attack

Burkina Faso's President Roch Marc Christian Kabore has condemned what he called a despicable and cowardly terrorist attack in the capital, Ouagadougou, in which at least 18 people died.

The authorities say two assailants who opened fire on a Turkish restaurant have been killed.

Security forces are continuing to search the area, and an inquiry has been opened.

France's President Emmanuel Macron has also condemned the attack.

At least one French national is thought to have been killed.
