Gunmen entered Sieblo-Ouala on Monday night and kept up their raid into Tuesday morning, attacking residents with guns and machetes. The village, near the border with Liberia, is located 12 km (7.5 miles) from the site of Friday’s attack, which killed 18, including the U.N. soldiers from Niger.
“The initial toll we had was three dead and four wounded. Three others were kidnapped, including one who was later killed. So it’s four dead,” said Sylvie van den Wildenberg, spokeswoman for Ivory Coast’s U.N. mission known by its acronym, UNOCI.
