At least 22 people have been killed in a suspected jihadist attack on a Niger village, near the border with Mali, reports say.
A local official told AFP news agency that the attackers arrived in Motagatta village in the Tillaberi region on motorbikes on Sunday and started shooting people.
It is not clear who were behind the attack. But such killings are common in Niger where jihadist insurgencies have risen since 2015.
