The bridge was on the road connecting the towns of Kaya and Dori, one of the main routes between the capital and the north of the country. **In Burkina Faso's capital long lines of cars and bus have appeared. Those wishing to travel to Ouagadougou or leave via the Nare bridge are stuck for long hours. We heard that unidentified armed men destroyed it, so it's impossible to go to Dori because of the bridge." A security source said Thursday that the blast hit a bridge on the road connecting the towns of Kaya and Dori, adding forces had been deployed to the area.
