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.

Fighters affiliated to al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group as well as the local Ansarul Islam have been active.
