19 people were killed in an attack during the night of 1 to 2 October in Fanworgou, a border town between Togo and Burkina Faso.
Lomé —
The commando managed to break through the barriers already built and attacked the patrols of the Togolese military. They then attacked the hut where the workers were resting and destroyed part of the construction company's equipment. The attack has not been claimed, but it took place about 4 km east of the attack on 20 July this year in Kpenkankandi, which killed at least twenty-one Togolese soldiers, and which was claimed by the JNIM , which had posted images of the attack from one of its drones on its social networks.
In the border region with Burkina Faso, a state of emergency has been declared since 2022 to deal with armed incursions from the neighbouring state.
